I would say water and carbon dioxide, but those are just guesses.

Which three elements essential for plant growth do most fertilizers contain?

nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium


How do some sprays made from plant extracts increases the Nitrogen uptake capacity of a crop?

Natural plant regulators/ stimulant are made from plant extracts, such as those produced from seaweed (kelp) and Cassava (amongst others). These formulations contain natural growth regulators such as auxins and cytokinin, they also contain fairly high concentrations of micro-elements. These elements stimulate growth in the plant, the increased growth then enables the plant to process and absorb more Nitrogen (as well as other elements), resulting in higher yields and fruit production. The regulator normally provides the stimulus for growth, yield is ultimately dependant on what fertilisers are then applied to support the stimulated growth, or what nutrients the soil contains.


What are the key elements of affecting plant growth?

The key elements are light, water, organic mater in the soil, and availability of necessary nutrients - primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.


Why is zinc and manganese not considered vitamins?

They are not considered vitamins because they are essential organic substances that the body requires in tiny amounts for normal growth and activity and these substances are Trace elements. Although Trace Elements are essential, these particular ones are required for plant growth, not human.

How can you increase the effect of water scarcity on plants?

The effects of water scarcity on plants are stunted growth, whithering and dying. To increase or accelerate those effects, should you wish to, simply uproot the plant.

Will a plant grow better with multivitamins?

Plants require 3 main (macro) elements to sustain active growth, these are N, P and K. These three are required to provide elements for green growth, root growth and fruit and flower formation. A number of trace or micro elements are also required but in much smaller quantities (i.e. amounts measured in parts per million). These, while they are not the main "building blocks" of growth are required to assist in enzyme and protein synthesis DNA replication (i.e. Mitosis and Meiosis's regulating mineral transfer (through osmosis) etc. In combination macro and micro elements work together to ensure active healthy plant growth. To much or to little of any of these elements, or imbalances in these elements manifest as plant disorders - e.g. discoloured or chlorotic leaves, aborted fruit and abnormal growth patterns. So in short, yes multivitamins may help in plant growth, but only if they are applied in conjunction with macro elements and applied in appropriate doses so that the plant is not "poisoned" by an overdose of these elements.

What effect does water scarcity have on plants?

Water scarcity in plants leads to water stress conditions. The leaves of the plant start minimizing water loss by transpiration.
