Are minerals organic elements extracted from the soil by plants?

No, minerals are inorganic elements found in the soil, not organic. They are essential nutrients that plants absorb through their roots to support growth and development. Organic elements, on the other hand, typically refer to compounds containing carbon, which are derived from living organisms. Thus, while minerals are crucial for plant health, they are not classified as organic.


Do plants need water and minerals to make food?

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)
