NUTRIENT REQUIREMENT IN PLANTS
Macronutrient
Nitrogen
Synthesises protein, chlorophyll, enzyme and nucleic acid, helps the growth of branches & leaves, increases production of fruits and seeds.
Phosporus
Synthesises protein & nucleic acid, promotes cell division for the production of flowers and fruits.
Potassium
Synthesises protein, allows plant cell division, strengthens resistance to infectious disease.
Magnesium
Important component in chlorophyll
Calcium
Synthesises spindle fibres during cell division & helps growth of of meristem at tips of shoots & roots.
Sulphur
Synthesises protein & chlorophyll, helps development of fruits & promotes plant cell division.
Oxygen
Involved in plant cell respiration to produce energy.
Carbon
Builds sugar, starch during photosynthesis and cellulose.
Hydrogen
Builds sugar, starch during photosynthesis & cellulose.
Micronutrient
Boron
Synthesises chlorophyll & cell wall, helps the formation of food & seeds
Iron
Helps growth of young tree parts and cell respiration.
Copper
Involved in photosynthesis & respiration.
Molybdenum
Synthesises protein and helps growth of plants.
Manganese
Involved in photosynthesis & respiration, helps formation of amino acid
Zinc
Helps synthesises protein and formation of chlorophyll and allows formation of leaves.
