[1] The most common synthetic fertilizers are ka NPK. That stands for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The three belong to the group of six macronutrients that are found in healthy soil, for growing healthy plants. [2] Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are important, because they get plants off to good starts in life. For they're responsible for proper development of shoots, roots, fruits, flowers, and buds. [3] In fact, though, there are a total of 16-17 necessary nutrients. But the remaining 10-11 aren't needed in as large amounts as the big six. [4] Nevertheless, if one nutrient's lacking, it throws off the entire soil and plant health web. And that holds true whether the nutrient's major-league such as nitrogen, or minor-league such as molybdenum.
