The plant needs certain chemical compounds and elements necessary for its metabolism, growth, and external supply. They obtain both macro and micronutrients from the soil for their development. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium are the three main nutrients and also need other nutrients like magnesium, copper, calcium, sulfur, and zinc in trace amounts. Plants absorb these nutrients through their roots and leaves. Lack of these nutrients may lead to the deterioration of the plantâ??s entire life cycle because each element is a part of the plantâ??s metabolism.
