vitamins are required in small amounts by the body.
Organic nutrients required in small amounts to maintain growth and normal metabolism are called vitamins. Raw materials that the body can use to assemble some vitamins are provitamins.
An essential nutrient is a nutrient required for normal body functions that either cannot be by by the body at all or cannot be make in amounts adequate for good health. Some types of essential nutrients include vitamins, dietary minerals, essential fatty acids and essential amino acids.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are major components of fertilizer products for plants.Specifically, chemical, commercial, conventional, non-organic fertilizers tend to be called "NPK" fertilizers. The initials are the symbols of the above-mentioned three nutrients. These three nutrients are called "macronutrients" because plants need them in quantities far larger than the required amounts of other essential plant nutrients.
Essential Nutrients
Eutrophication and algal blooms
They are not considered vitamins because they are essential organic substances that the body requires in tiny amounts for normal growth and activity and these substances are Trace elements. Although Trace Elements are essential, these particular ones are required for plant growth, not human.
Micronutrients are nutrients required by humans and other organisms throughout life in small quantities to orchestrate a range of physiological functions.The microminerals or trace elements include at least iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. Micronutrients also include vitamins, which are organic compounds required as nutrients in tiny amounts by an organism
