Nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen is crucial for protein synthesis and the building of plant tissues.
Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus is important for energy transfer via ATP and nucleic acid formation.
Potassium (K)
Potassium is involved in the regulation of water and nutrient movement in plant cells, enzyme activation and stress resistance.
Calcium (Ca)
Calcium is essential for cell wall strength and stability, signaling between cells, and membrane function.
Magnesium (Mg)
Magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll and is required for photosynthesis, as well as enzyme activation.
Sulfur (S)
Sulfur is a component of certain amino acids and proteins and is important for the synthesis of oils within the plant.
Iron (Fe)
Iron is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis and functions as a cofactor for enzymes in respiration and photosynthesis.
Boron (B)
Boron plays a key role in cell wall formation and is crucial for the movement of sugars and carbohydrate metabolism.
Manganese (Mn)
Manganese is involved in chlorophyll synthesis, activates many plant enzymes, and assists in photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism.
Zinc (Zn)
Zinc is essential for the synthesis of plant hormones and enzyme systems, and is also involved in protein synthesis.
Copper (Cu)
Copper is crucial for photosynthetic electron transport, cell wall metabolism, and overall plant metabolism.
Molybdenum (Mo)
Molybdenum is required for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by symbiotic bacteria in legumes and for the conversion of nitrate into ammonium in plants.
Chlorine (Cl)
Chlorine is involved in osmotic and ionic balance within the cell, and is essential for photosynthesis.
