Calcium (Ca)

StarStarStarStar

Calcium is essential for cell wall strength and stability, signaling between cells, and membrane function.

StarStarStarStar

Copper (Cu)

StarStarStarStar

Copper is crucial for photosynthetic electron transport, cell wall metabolism, and overall plant metabolism.

StarStarStarStar

Boron (B)

StarStarStarStar

Boron plays a key role in cell wall formation and is crucial for the movement of sugars and carbohydrate metabolism.

StarStarStarStar

Molybdenum (Mo)

StarStarStarStar

Molybdenum is required for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by symbiotic bacteria in legumes and for the conversion of nitrate into ammonium in plants.

StarStarStarStar

Chlorine (Cl)

StarStarStarStar

Chlorine is involved in osmotic and ionic balance within the cell, and is essential for photosynthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen (N)

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen is crucial for protein synthesis and the building of plant tissues.

StarStarStarStar

Magnesium (Mg)

StarStarStarStar

Magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll and is required for photosynthesis, as well as enzyme activation.

StarStarStarStar

Potassium (K)

StarStarStarStar

Potassium is involved in the regulation of water and nutrient movement in plant cells, enzyme activation and stress resistance.

StarStarStarStar

Zinc (Zn)

StarStarStarStar

Zinc is essential for the synthesis of plant hormones and enzyme systems, and is also involved in protein synthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Phosphorus (P)

StarStarStarStar

Phosphorus is important for energy transfer via ATP and nucleic acid formation.

StarStarStarStar

Iron (Fe)

StarStarStarStar

Iron is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis and functions as a cofactor for enzymes in respiration and photosynthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfur (S)

StarStarStarStar

Sulfur is a component of certain amino acids and proteins and is important for the synthesis of oils within the plant.

StarStarStarStar

Manganese (Mn)

StarStarStarStar

Manganese is involved in chlorophyll synthesis, activates many plant enzymes, and assists in photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism.
