Study Notes

Plant Nutrition

  • Plants require 17 essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.

Primary Nutrients

  • Primary nutrients for crop growth include Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K).

Nutrient Excess and Deficiency

  • Excessive nutrients in plants can indicate over-fertilization, which can harm plants.
  • A low concentration of nutrients in plants that produce distinct deficiency symptoms is called a deficiency.
  • A low concentration of nutrients in plants that produce more or less distinct deficiency symptoms is called a latent deficiency.

Micronutrients

  • Micronutrients for plant growth include Boron (B), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), and Zinc (Zn).

Nutrient Deficiency

  • Nutrient deficiency occurs when nutrients in plants are below their actual content or available in inadequate amounts.
  • Primary nutrients necessary for crop growth include Nitrogen (N).
