Answer 1

Plants require 17 essential nutrients for normal growth and development.
These nutrients are categorized into macronutrients and micronutrients based on the amounts plants need.
Macronutrients encompass primary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and secondary nutrients (calcium, magnesium, sulfur).
Micronutrients include iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, chlorine, and nickel.
Each nutrient is vital for plant functions like photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and protein synthesis.
Both deficiency and excess of any essential nutrient negatively impact plant health and productivity.
