What are the optimal nutrients that plants require?
In plant nutrition, there is a law known as Liebig’s law of the minimum. It is named after its author, Justus von Liebig, who said that the growth of a plant is limited by the nutrient that is in shortest supply (in relation to plant need). Once its supply is improved, the next limiting nutrient controls plant growth. An optimal nutrient supply requires: • sufficient available nutrients in the rootzone of the soil; • rapid transport of nutrients in the soil solution towards the root surface; • satisfactory root growth to access available nutrients; • unimpeded nutrient uptake, especially with sufficient oxygen present; • satisfactory mobility and activity of nutrients within the plant. There are 13 key nutrients required for plant growth (BioJadi contains 8 of these key macro/micro-nutrients) .They are traditionally divided into two groups, macronutrients and micronutrients, according to the amounts required. Regardless of the amount required, physiologically, all of them are equally i
