Question
Chapter 35.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the discovery of some essential nutrients for plant growth century and a half later from when the first experiments to determine essential elements was discovered.
Introduction:
Plants need inorganic elements for growth. These inorganic elements can either be required in high quantities (macronutrients) or in trace amounts (micronutrients). They are ‘essential’ because, without them, plant will not survive.
