ELEMENTS CHART:
The following information will help you gain a better understanding of
your soil results and the role of primary, secondary and micronutrients.
<top>
| N |
Nitrogen
helps form amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. |
|
Cu |
Copper
is necessary for chlorophyll formation and also acts as a catalyst for other plant
reactions. |
| P |
Phosphorus
is utilized in the formation of nucleic acids and other chemicals which help in the
development of healthy root systems, early growth, early maturity and seed production. |
|
Fe |
Iron
also acts as a catalyst for chlorophyll formation and also carries oxygen. It also
helps form certain respiratory enzyme systems. These functions make it critical to
photosynthesis. |
| K |
Potassium
is similar to phosphorus in root formation and also appears to promote disease
resistance. It increases the size and quality of fruits. |
|
Mn |
Manganese
activates many metabolic reactions in plants and is directly involved in
photosynthesis. It accelerates germination and maturity and increases the
availability of phosphorus and calcium |
| S |
Sulfur
is sometimes referred to as the "4th primary nutrient" since it must be present
to form protein. |
|
Mo |
Molybdenum
facilitates a plants proper use of nitrogen. It is also used to convert inorganic
phosphorus to organic forms. |
| Ca |
Calcium
is used in root system and leaf development and is combined with other elements to form
cell walls. It also helps by activating other enzyme systems. |
|
Zn |
Zinc
is necessary for the production of chlorophyll and carbohydrates and aids in the creation
of plant growth substances, enzyme systems, and metabolic reactions. |
| Mg |
Magnesium
is the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule which makes it absolutely necessary for
photosynthesis. It also plays a role in phosphate metabolism, plant
respiration and enzyme systems. |
|
B |
Boron
is essential for germination of pollen grains and growth of pollen tubes and for seed and
cell wall formation. Other functions aid in protein formation. |
|
|
Cl |
Chlorine
is used in photosynthesis and helps promote a more disease resistant plant. |
