Carbon is the element that is essential in the human diet and for plant growth. Carbon is the basis for life.
nitrogen
Nitrogen. or potassium
Nitrogen is a group 5A element that is highly reactive and essential for plant growth.
Phosphates contain the element phosphorus. Phosphorus is essential for plant growth and is commonly found in fertilizers and detergents.
Sulfur is a solid nonmetal which is an important element in the fertiliser super phosphate
essential elements(EE) are those that are required for the completion of the plant life cycle..whereas beneficial elements (BE) are those which promote plant growth but are not necessary for the plant life cycle. EE - there are 3 criteria for the elements to be essential BE - there are no such criteria formulated. EE - eg. Mangenese magnesium calcium boron potassium iron zinc etc. There are 17 EE have been found. BE - eg. Silicon sodium cobalt aluminum and selenium. EE - they are involved in metabolic activities of plant. Production of chlorophyll reproductive and vegetative growth etc. BE - they enhance the resistnce to pathogens drought salinity and nutrient toxicity or deficiency. Enhance plant nutritional value. {ANSWERED BY SHAHEDA }
Nitrates are essential for the growth of amino acids and therefore are essential for the production plant proteins, which help the plant to grow :)
Nitrogen is a common limiting factor in plant communities, as it is an essential element for plant growth and development. Low nitrogen availability can restrict plant growth and productivity, leading to decreased plant diversity and competition for nitrogen resources among different plant species.
"Vital to plant growth" means that the particular factor or element being referred to is essential for plants to grow and thrive. Without it, plants would not be able to carry out important processes like photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, or growth.
Potassium is essential for plant growth as it plays a vital role in processes such as photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and water regulation. Hydrogen is not considered an essential nutrient for plant growth, as it is primarily obtained by plants through water (H2O) uptake during photosynthesis.
The first element in the fourth period, which is used in making fertilizer, is potassium.
