What happens if a plant is lacking nitrates?

Nitrates are needed for protein's, so it results in the plant not having the proteins it needs. Also it will have yellow older leaves and a stunted growth. :) And just if you wanted to know: nitrates stimulate root development and are required for protein production. Chlorophyll, needed for photosynthesis, is a protein and without the nitrogen from the nitrates it cannot be made <---this is why the leaves are small and yellow in colour! :) Hope I helped :)

What happens in lack of nitrate ions in plants?

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.

What condition is needed for healthy growth of plants that is not needed for germination?

All plants need to germinate first under suitable conditions required for a specific plant to development.However good soil (clayey soil for specific plants to retain water)with nutrients like sodium,potassium-phosphates,nitrates,calcium etc-humidity,temperature ,sunlight,water are some important requirements for plant growth but they may vary from plant to plant.
