Why do leaves on a struggling plant turn yellow? Why do farmers apply fertiliser to their fields? The answers lie in mineral elements the chemical building blocks that plants must absorb from the soil to grow, reproduce, and survive. Macroelements like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur are needed in large amounts. Microelements like iron, zinc, copper, and boron are needed in tiny but absolutely critical amounts. Too little of any essential element and the plant shows deficiency signs stunted growth, yellowing leaves, poor fruit production. Too much can also be toxic! Understanding this helps farmers protect their crops. Let Avinto guide you through the chemistry of plant nutrition agriculture and biology meet right here!
