Macro and micro nutrients are

two categories of essential

nutrients that plants require for
growth and development. The
main difference between macro
and micro nutrients is the amount
required by the plant.

Macro nutrients are required in

large quantities, hence the name
"macro". These include nitrogen
(N), phosphorus (P), potassium
(K), calcium (Ca), magnesium
(Mg), and sulfur (S). These
nutrients play a crucial role in
plant growth, photosynthesis,
and overall health.

Micro nutrients, on the other

hand, are required in smaller
quantities, hence the name
"micro". These include iron (Fe),
manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn),
copper (Cu), boron (B),
molybdenum (Mo), and chlorine
(Cl). Despite their small
quantities, micro
nutrients are equally important
for plant growth and
development.

In summary, macro nutrients are

required in larger quantities while
micro nutrients are required in
smaller quantities, but both are
essential for plant growth and
health.
