Answer:-
Macronutrient:- The nutrient elements, which are consumed by plants in large quantities for growth, are called macronutrients or macroelements.
Plants use 10 macronutrients or macro elements, they are:-
- Nitrogen (N),
- Potassium (K),
- Phosphorus (P),
- Calcium (Ca),
- Magnesium (Mg),
- Carbon (C),
- Hydrogen (H),
- Oxygen (0),
- Sulfur (S) and
- Iron (Fe).
About 60 inorganic nutritional elements have been identified in plants. Only 16 nutrients out of 60 are essential for the normal growth of plants.
Of these 16 nutrients, some are consumed in large amounts and others in low amounts by plants. Based on the amount of essential mineral nutrition consumed by plants, nutrients are divided into two groups:
- Macro-nutrient (or macro- element)
- Micro-nutrient (or micro-element).
