Plants that lack phosphorus don't grow. Specifically, phosphorus is one of the three main nutrients that give plants a good start on life. Nitrogen promotes above ground growth of shoots that we call leaves and stems. Phosphorus promotes below ground growth of roots. Potassium promotes flowering and fruiting. As with people, plants need to be fed to carry out their activities. They take their nutrients and water in through their roots. So no roots = no food = no growth = no plant.

What happens to a plant if it lacks phosphorus?
Phosphorus is one of the 16-17 nutrients that are necessary for healthy plants and soils. Artificial, commercial, conventional, synthetic fertilizers recognize the critical role of phosphorus in plant growth. For they are called N-P-K fertilizers, because of their emphasis on the proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A phosphorus deficiency shows up in a lack of overall good plant health. For example, plant growth may be stunted.
