I. INTRODUCTION
1. Is it important to study plant nutrition ?
a. DEFITION
Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical
elements that are necessary for plant growth and
development.
The study is focused on the relationship between
nutrients and plant growth that includes
INTRODUCTION
b. OUR CHALLENGE
Thomas Malthus (1766 -1834): An Essay on the
Principle of Population (1798)
Population, when unchecked, increases in a
geometrical ratio, and subsistence increases only in
an arithmetical ratio
Geometric sequence : 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Arithmetic sequence : 2, 5, 8, 11, 14
This means that population growth would outstrip food
supply, causing great human suffering
In the early 1960s, most nations were self-sufficient
in food
The Green Revolution (high-yield crops and energy
intensive agriculture) brought about remarkable
increases in crop production.

2. NUTRIENT ELEMENTS
1. Some elements are essential
There are over 100 chemical elements, yet only 17
are essential for plant growth. To be classified as
essential, the element needs to meet the following

3. Function Of Nutrients
1.
Carbon
Carbon is what most of the plant is made of. It forms the
backbone of many plant biomolecules, including starches and
cellulose. Carbon is fixed through photosynthesis from the
carbon dioxide in the air and is a part of the carbohydrates that
store energy in the plant.
2.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen also is necessary for building sugars and building the
plant. It is obtained from air and liquid water.
3.
Oxygen
Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration. Cellular respiration
is the process of generating energy-rich adenosine triphosphate
(ATP) via the consumption of sugars made in photosynthesis. It
is obtained from the air.

4.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is important in plant bioenergetics. As a
component of ATP, phosphorus is needed for the
conversion of light energy to chemical energy (ATP)
during photosynthesis.
5.
Potassium
Potassium regulates the opening and closing of the
stoma by a potassium ion pump. Since stomata are
important in water regulation, potassium reduces
water loss from the leaves and increases drought
tolerance. Potassium deficiency may cause necrosis
or interveinal chlorosis.
6.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is an essential component of all proteins, and as a
part of DNA, it is essential for growth and reproduction as
well. Nitrogen deficiency most often results in stunting.
7.
Sulphur
Sulphur is another important component of amino acids and
proteins, and is therefore important in plant growth.
8.
Calcium
Calcium a part of cell walls, and regulates transport of other
nutrients into the plant. Calcium deficiency results in stunting.
9.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an important part of chlorophyll, a critical plant
pigment in photosynthesis. It is important in the production of
ATP through its role as an enzyme cofactor.

10.
Iron
Iron is necessary for photosynthesis and is present
as an enzyme cofactor in plants. Iron deficiency can
result in interveinal chlorosis and necrosis.
11.
Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a cofactor to enzymes important in
building amino acids.
12.
Boron
Boron is important in sugar transport, cell division,
and synthesizing certain enzymes. Boron deficiency
causes necrosis in young leaves and stunting.
13.
Copper
Copper is important for photosynthesis. Symptoms
for copper deficiency include chlorosis.
14.
Manganese
Manganese is necessary for building the
chloroplasts. Manganese deficiency may result in
coloration abnormalities, such as discolored spots
on the foliage.
15.
Zinc
Zinc is required in a large number enzymes and
plays an essential role in DNA transcription. A
typical symptom of zinc deficiency is the stunted
growth of leaves, commonly known as "little leaf"
and is caused by the oxidative degredation of the
growth hormone auxin

Nickel
Nickel is required in nitrogen metabolism, however the
requirement is vague in all but a very few select plants.
