About this document
Essential Minerals for Plant Health by fardhu91 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Plants need mineral elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium for healthy growth. These minerals are absorbed by plant roots from salts dissolved in the soil water. A lack of specific minerals causes characteristic deficiency symptoms, such as yellow or pale leaves. Nitrogen deficiency results in pale green upper leaves and yellow lower leaves. Phosphorus deficiency causes small roots and purple leaves. Potassium deficiency leads to poor fruit and flower growth with yellow spotted leaves.
