Nutrient supplied by air, water and soil
Source Nutrients

Carbon, oxygen
Water Hydrogen, oxygen
Soil (i) Macronutrients : nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium
and sulphur
Micronutrients: Iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, molybdenum and
Chlorine.

Deficiency of these nutrients affects physiological processes in plants including reproduction, growth
and susceptibility to diseases. to increase the yield, the soil can be enriched by supplying
nutrients in the form of manure and fertilisers.
(a) Nutrients present in air are taken up by plants through.
(i) Roots (ii) Stomata (iiü) Lenticles (iv) Seeds

(b) Limited availability of essential nutrients, whether macronutrients or micronutrients results in:
(i) deficiency symptoms. (i) defoliation.
(üü) abnormal growth. (iv) stunted growth.

(c) All plants need all types of macro and micronutrients:

(i) depending on soil type. (ii) depending of temperature.
(ii) an individually specific quantity. (iv) depending on plant size.

(d) What is a micronutrient?

(e) Write basic difference between fertilisers and manure.
