Plant Nutrition

As a precondition for growth, health and therefore the production of nutritious food, plants require essential nutrients (macro and micronutrients) in sufficient quantities. Seventeen elements are shown to be essential for plants: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), chlorine (Cl), nickel (Ni). Furthermore, additional elements could also be essential to a couple of plant species, e.g. sodium (Na) and cobalt (Co). Carbon, H and O are obtained from the atmosphere and water, and aren't considered mineral elements. The remaining essential elements are often divided into three groups: primary macronutrients (N, P and K), secondary macronutrients (S, Mg and Ca) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo, Cl and Ni) supported average concentrations in plants
