Many different elements and compounds are used in varying proportions as plant fertilizer.

The 6 main elements used are: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S)

Seven others elements are also used as "micronutrients": boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn).

A compound that is commonly used in agriculture as a "high-nitrogen" fertilizer, is ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3).
