Plants need 16 elements for normal growth. Three are found in air and water. They are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Six are found in soil – nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and sulfur. They are used in relatively large amounts by plants and are called macronutrients.

Seven other elements, known as micronutrients or trace elements, are used in much smaller amounts. These essential micronutrients are found in soil and include iron, zinc, molybdenum, boron, copper, manganese and chlorine.
