 Role Of
Nitrogen
Maura
Nitrogen plays a critical role within the plant to
ensure energy is available when and where the
plant needs it to optimize yield. This crucial nutrient
is even present in the roots as proteins and enzymes
help regulate water and nutrient uptake.

 Phosphorus
Chiara
Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and
atomic number 15.Phosphorus chains (with organic
substituents) have been prepared, although these tend to be
quite fragile. Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms,
white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is
highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element
on Earth. It has a concentration in the Earth's crust of about
one gram per kilogram

 Potassium in
Plant Growth
Keisha

Potassium (K) is an essential element for plant

growth it is important to food crops. Potassium,
often called potash, helps plants use water and
resist drought and enhances fruits and
vegetables. If soluble Potassium is deficient in
soil it can stunt growth and cause other
symptomatic issues.

Mineral Salt Deficiency

Nitrogen Deficiency
Ardi
Symptoms: Spindly yellow plants or yellow
leaves, sometimes with pink tints.
Cause: Nitrogen promotes green, leafy growth
and deficiency results in yellowing and stunted
growth. Nitrogen is very soluble, so is easily
washed out of the soil in winter rains, leaving
the soil deficient in spring, just when plants are
putting on new growth. Nitrogen deficiency is a
common cause of yellow leaves in spring.
 Potassium
Deficiency
Ardi
Symptoms: Yellow or purple leaf-tints with browning at
the leaf edge and poor flowering or fruiting.
Cause: Potassium is needed for controlling both water
uptake and the process allowing plants to harness
energy from the sun (photosynthesis). Potassium
promotes flowering, fruiting and general hardiness.
Shortages are more likely on light, sandy or chalky soils
where potassium is easily washed away. Clay soils, by
contrast, hold potassium within their structure.
