  2. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth and reproduction, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite .

  3. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

    The macro-nutrients are consumed in larger quantities and are present in plant tissue in quantities from 0.15% to 6.0% on a dry matter (DM) (0% moisture) basis. Plants are made up of four main elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are widely available respectively in carbon dioxide and in water.

  5. List of macronutrients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_macronutrients

    Macronutrients are defined as a class of chemical compounds which humans consume in relatively large quantities compared to vitamins and minerals which provide humans with energy. Fat has a food energy content of 38 kilojoules per gram (9 kilocalories per gram) proteins and carbohydrates 17 kJ/g (4 kcal/g). [2]

  6. Agricultural microbiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_microbiology

    Nitrogen is an essential element needed for the creation of biomass and is usually seen as a limiting nutrient in agricultural systems. Though abundant in the atmosphere, the atmospheric form of nitrogen cannot be utilized by plants and must be transformed into a form that can be taken up directly by the plants; this problem is solved by biological nitrogen fixers.

  7. Micronutrient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronutrient

    [3] [6] For human nutrition, micronutrient requirements are in amounts generally less than 100 milligrams per day, whereas macronutrients are required in gram quantities daily. [6] A multiple micronutrient powder of at least iron, zinc, and vitamin A was added to the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines in 2019. [7]

  8. Liebig's law of the minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig's_law_of_the_minimum

    Liebig's law has been extended to biological populations (and is commonly used in ecosystem modelling).For example, the growth of an organism such as a plant may be dependent on a number of different factors, such as sunlight or mineral nutrients (e.g., nitrate or phosphate).

  9. Biofertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofertilizer

    A biofertilizer is a substance containing living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. [1] Biofertilizers add nutrients through the natural processes of ...
