Plants require macro elements Nitrogen (N), Potassium (P) and Phosphorus (K) as well as micro (or trace elements) such as magnesium (Mn), sulphur (S), iron (Fe), boron (B), copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Molybdenum (Mo) to sustain vigorous growth.
The availability of these elements in the soil depends on the nature of the soil as well as the pH of the soil. Excesses of micro-nutrients/ trace elements can be just as damaging as deficiencies. Micro-nutirents are normally only required in parts that can be measured in parts per million (PPM), while macro element requirements are measured in parts per ten thousand (PPT)
What else can I help you with?
On photosynthesis what two things do plants use with sunlight to make food?
Plants use carbon dioxide and water along with sunlight during photosynthesis to produce glucose (food) and oxygen.
What is the type of gas that plants need to make food?
Plants need carbon dioxide gas to perform photosynthesis and make food.
What is a plants food called?
The food that plants make through photosynthesis is called glucose. This glucose is used as a source of energy for the plant's growth and functioning. Additionally, plants also take up nutrients from the soil to support their growth and development.
What is four fresh water that is not readily available?
Desalinated water - water that has had its salt and minerals removed to make it suitable for consumption.
Is a process that plants undergo to make sugars which are necessary for the plants survival and for the survival of animals that feed on the plants.?
The process described is photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars for energy. This energy is essential for the plant's growth and survival, and for animals that rely on plants as a food source in the ecosystem.
Why do you need to feed plants?
Water, sunlight, and sometimes fertilizers. Plants make their own food from water and sunlight and minerals from the ground.
How do plants produce food using light?
is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food from light, water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide. ... All food people eat comes directly or indirectly from plants. ... What Do Plants Need to Make Food? Plants ... nutrients and minerals (which the plant collects from the soil through its roots). Plants ...
Why does water make plants grow?
water is food for the plants
Why do some plants photosynthesis?
They photosynthesis to make their own food as they cannot move to find their own food. They need sufficient sunlight, water, minerals, oxygen, carbon dioxide and soil to make food.
Do plants food when they have no water?
No. Water is something that plants need to survive and make food out of.
What do most plants need to make new plants?
Water, oxygen, sunlight and minerals.
Plants use water to?
Plants use water to make their own food.
What plants make for food?
Plants make their own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
Do plants take in food from the outside?
Plants do not take in food from the outside in the same way animals do. Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Their roots absorb water and minerals from the soil, but they do not consume food in the same way animals do.
What does plants breath to make food?
plants need water sun and air to make food for us to eat .
How are green plants different from animals with respect to the food they need?
Green plants are autotrophs. They prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals and the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants which doesn't have chlorophyll doesn't have green colour. So, they cannot make their own food. These plants and animals are called heterotrophs as they directly or indirectly depend on green plants for food.
How does water and soil help plants grow?
Soil and water help a plant grow because when the roots take up the water from the soil,some of it's minerals have dissolved in the water giving the plant nutrients. Water also helps the plants make food using the process photosynthesis.
