Why do plants need the follwing nutrients…..?
Nitrogen: The base element of all biological cells start with nitrogen. If nitrogen is not available when a new cell is to be formed in a plant, the cell will not form and growth ceases. Phosphorus: Phosphorus is a component of the complex nucleic acid structure of plants, which regulates protein synthesis. Phosphorus is, therefore, important in cell division and development of new tissue. Phosphorus is also associated with complex energy transformations in the plant. Adding phosphorus to soil low in available phosphorus promotes root growth and winter hardiness, stimulates tillering, and often hastens maturity. Plants deficient in phosphorus are stunted in growth and often have an abnormal dark-green color. Pottasium: The formation of carbohydrates and proteins; the regulation of water conditions within the plant cell and of water loss by transpiration, as a catalyst and condensing agent of complex substances, as an accelerator of enzyme action, as contributing to photosynthesis.
