Basics
This is defined as an element or compound required for plant growth.
What is a nutrient?
These are required in large amounts by plants.
What are macronutrients?
Yellowing of plant tissue due to lack of chlorophyll.
What is Chlorosis?
This nutrient is a major component of proteins and DNA.
What is nitrogen (N)?
These fertilizers come from Plant and animal material.
What are organic Fertilizers?
These are the cellular reactions that maintain plant life.
What is metabolism?
Name three primary Macronutrients.
What are
Nitrogen (N)
Phosphorus (Ne)
Potassium (K)
Yellowing along the edges of leaves.
What is marginal Chlorosis?
This nutrient is responsible for ATP and energy transfer.
What us Phosphorus (Ne)?
These fertilizers are manufactured and fast-acting.
What are inorganic fertilizers?
A nutrient whose absence prevents a plant from completing its lifecycle.
What is an essential nutrient?
These nutrients are needed in small amounts.
What are micronutrients?
Trellis in leaf tissue between veins while veins remain green.
What is Intervening Chlorosis?
This nutrient builds cell walls and structure.
What is Calcium (Ca)?
This type of fertilizer releases nutrients over time.
What is slow-release fertilizer?
Plants need this many essential nutrients total.
What is 17?
This secondary macronutrient is central to chlorophyll.
What is Magnesium (Mg)?
Dead brown or black tissue on leaves.
What is Necrosis?
This nutrient helps produce chlorophyll and aids enzymes.
What is Iron (Fe)?
This fertilizer component helps distribute nutrients evenly.
What is filler?
These three elements come from air and water?
What are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
This nutrient is key for stomata opening and water regulation.
What is potassium (K)?
Mobile nutrients move from here.
What are old leaves to new leaves?
This nutrient is essential for protein formation and nitrogen fixation.
What is sulfur?
This process binds micronutrients to improve solubility.
What is chelation?
