Functions of nitrogen in plants
Nitrogen is an essential element of all amino acids. Nitrogen is also a component of nucleic acids and holds
the genetic code. Nitrogen is a component of chlorophyll, which is the site of carbohydrate formation(photosynthesis)
Importance of phosphorus in plants:
Stimulated root development. Increased stalk and stem strength. Improved flower formation and seed production.
More uniform and earlier crop maturity. Increased nitrogen N-fixing capacity of legumes. Improvements in crop quality.
Increased resistance to plant diseases
Importance of Potassium in plants
Potassium is associated with the movement of water, nutrients and carbohydrates in plant tissue. It’s involved with enzyme activation within the plant, which affects protein, starch and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. The production of ATP can regulate the rate of photosynthesis.
