What are the four elements plants need to grow?

Answer 1

Plants need 16 elements for normal growth. Three are found in air and water. They are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Six are found in soil – nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and sulfur. They are used in relatively large amounts by plants and are called macronutrients.

Seven other elements, known as micronutrients or trace elements, are used in much smaller amounts. These essential micronutrients are found in soil and include iron, zinc, molybdenum, boron, copper, manganese and chlorine.

Answer 2

Plants need water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, and minerals from the soil to grow. Water is essential for transporting nutrients and maintaining turgidity, sunlight is used in photosynthesis to produce energy, carbon dioxide is required for photosynthesis, and minerals from the soil are necessary for growth and development.

Answer 3

The basic nutrients plants need are, water, light, food, pottasium and microelements ( iron, zink, magnesuim, etc)

Answer 4

nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N, P, K)

Answer 5

Plants need nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to be healthy. They help with respiration, colour, photosynthesis and size.

Answer 6

soil,water,air sunlight
