Calcium (Ca)

Role in plant growth: Integral for cell wall structure, cell division, and signaling. Common fertilizer sources: gypsum, lime, and calcium nitrate.

Phosphorus (P)

Role in plant growth: Essential for energy transfer and genetic material (DNA, RNA). Common fertilizer sources: rock phosphate, bone meal, and superphosphate.

Nitrogen (N)

Role in plant growth: Critical for photosynthesis and protein synthesis. Common fertilizer sources: urea, ammonium nitrate, and fish emulsion.

Potassium (K)

Role in plant growth: Regulates osmotic balance, enzyme activation, and stress resistance. Common fertilizer sources: potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, and greensand.

Magnesium (Mg)

Role in plant growth: Central component of the chlorophyll molecule, necessary for photosynthesis. Common fertilizer sources: Epsom salts, dolomitic lime, and magnesium sulfate.

Sulfur (S)

Role in plant growth: Important for protein synthesis and some vitamins. Common fertilizer sources: gypsum, elemental sulfur, and ammonium sulfate.
