13 Essential Plant Nutrients; Deficiency and Excess

This resource provides essential information on the 13 mineral nutrients required for healthy plant growth. It includes a detailed table categorizing nutrients as primary macronutrients, secondary macronutrients, or micronutrients based on their relative abundance in plants. Each nutrient's chemical symbol, function in plant development, and role in processes such as photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and cell wall formation are outlined. Additionally, the resource describes the visual symptoms of nutrient deficiencies and excesses, helping identify potential plant health issues. For example, nitrogen deficiency results in yellowing leaves and stunted growth, while excess phosphorus can lead to micronutrient deficiencies. The document also highlights how imbalances can negatively impact plant development, such as calcium excess leading to magnesium or potassium deficiencies. By understanding these relationships, gardeners, farmers, and students can make informed decisions about plant nutrition. This resource is valuable for anyone interested in plant health and agricultural productivity.
