Chapter 37, Problem 8TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants need both macronutrients, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, and magnesium, and micronutrients, zinc, copper, and iron, for their normal growth. If these essential nutrients are inadequate, which may result in plant disease, like leaf discoloration and stunted growth. Among all these nutrients, nitrogen is very crucial as it is a main component of chlorophyll.
