Plants require macro elements Nitrogen (N), Potassium (P) and Phosphorus (K) as well as micro (or trace elements) such as magnesium (Mn), sulphur (S), iron (Fe), boron (B), copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Molybdenum (Mo) to sustain vigorous growth.
The availability of these elements in the soil depends on the nature of the soil as well as the pH of the soil. Excesses of micro-nutrients/ trace elements can be just as damaging as deficiencies. Micro-nutirents are normally only required in parts that can be measured in parts per million (PPM), while macro element requirements are measured in parts per ten thousand (PPT)

On photosynthesis what two things do plants use with sunlight to make food?
Water and oxygen
How does soil and water help a plant grow?
Soil and water help a plant grow because when the roots take up the water from the soil,some of it's minerals have dissolved in the water giving the plant nutrients. Water also helps the plants make food using the process photosynthesis.
What is a plants food called?
There many types of that plants grow such as, potatoes, rice, bananas and many more.
What does soil give to plants?
Theoretically, and optimally, soil provides plants with protection from excessive amounts of cold, heat, light, moisture, and wind. It also provides plants with the necessary nutrients and water for the growth of roots and shoots. For food is taken up from the soil, by the roots, and up to the shoots. There, it plays its role in the photosynthetic interaction for the production of energizing starches and sugars by which plant activities are carried out. And it provides direction to root growth by its tunneled network of air and water pore spaces. And it also provides access of the plants to the soil food web. For the life within the soil removes exudates, which are the waste products of the plant. And the life within the soil, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria and nitogen-fixing nematodes, make present but unavailable nitrogen accessible to plant roots in the necessary soluble form.
Why is water important in soil?
to make plants
Why do you need to feed plants?
Water, sunlight, and sometimes fertilizers. Plants make their own food from water and sunlight and minerals from the ground.
What are the 4 main parts to make food for green plants?
water,sunlight,carbon dioxide, and minerals
How do plants produce food using light?
is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food from light, water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide. ... All food people eat comes directly or indirectly from plants. ... What Do Plants Need to Make Food? Plants ... nutrients and minerals (which the plant collects from the soil through its roots). Plants ...
What must leaves absorb in order for plants to make their own food?
Carbon dioxide gas enter the stomata of leaves and from this, water, photons of light and a few trace minerals plants make their own food.
Why do some plants photosynthesis?
They photosynthesis to make their own food as they cannot move to find their own food. They need sufficient sunlight, water, minerals, oxygen, carbon dioxide and soil to make food.
What do most plants need to make new plants?
Water, oxygen, sunlight and minerals.
Why does water make plants grow?
water is food for the plants
Is carbon dioxide a nonliving part of an ecosystem that plants need to make food?
Yes, CO2 gas is nonliving and a part of the ecosystem contributory to plant food manufacture, but so is water, photons of light and the trace minerals the plants use to make food.
Do plants food when they have no water?
No. Water is something that plants need to survive and make food out of.
Where do plants get these ingredients?
Plants get the nutrients that they need from the soil and water. They get the ingredients to make their own food through photosynthesis.
Plants use water to?
Plants use water to make their own food.
What plants make for food?
