Summary of nutrients needed for plant growth
First: major nutrients such as
(nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium)
Second: major secondary nutrients such as
(calcium-magnesium-sulfur)
Third: major nutrients extracted by the plant from air and water, such as
(oxygen - hydrogen - carbon)
Fourth: micronutrients such as
(iron - zinc - manganese - copper - boron - molybdenum - chlorine)
