    The document discusses plant nutrients, categorizing them as either macronutrients or micronutrients. It provides the symbol, uptake forms, functions in plants, content/distribution, and deficiency/toxicity symptoms for each nutrient. The major macronutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Micronutrients, which are needed in smaller amounts, include boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc. The document also notes how nutrients move within soil and common fertilizer sources.
