If a plant doesn't take in nitrates, it will wither and die. Nitrogen is one of the three macronutrients (nutrients needed in relatively large amounts) for any given plant. The other two are phosphorous and potassium. The only way for a plant to absorb nitrogen is through nitrogen-rich compounds, such as the nitrates and nitrites.
