Nutrition in Plants


Plant nutrition is a very important topic covered under botany. We will learn about nutrition in plants in this post. Plants use inorganic minerals for nutrition wherever they grow. Usually plants intake involves rock minerals, decaying organic matter, animals and microbes.




The Elements of complete plant nutrition includes:

1) Nitrogen
2) Phosphorus
3) Potassium
4) Sulfur
5) Magnesium
6) Calcium

Study of plants also involves study related to fertilisation, classification of plants and anatomy of plants. We will learn more about it in future posts.
