    The document discusses the differences between mobile and immobile nutrients in plants. Mobile nutrients are taken up by plant roots in a manner dependent on the plant's growth stage and environment, and the total amount available in the plant's root zone can vary. Immobile nutrients are taken up independently of growth stage and environment, and remain in the area of the root surface. The document states that sufficiency indicators can be used to assess immobile nutrient levels but not mobile nutrient levels, as soil tests indicate total amounts in the soil profile rather than within the plant's root zone.

    Sufficiency can be used for immobile


    nutrients because roots expand within the
    profile, therefore, the same amount will be
    available as immobile nutrients are taken
    up via
