Plant Nutrition

Plant nutrition involves the process by which plants obtain essential nutrients to grow and thrive. They primarily absorb water and minerals from the soil through their roots. Key nutrients include macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which support growth and development, and micronutrients like iron and zinc, which are needed in smaller amounts. The process also involves photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce food. Proper nutrition ensures healthy plant development, strong roots, vibrant leaves, and good yields, whether for natural ecosystems or agriculture.
