Important Definitions
An element is a pure chemical that contains only one type of atom.
A compound is a molecule that contains one or more elements.

Essential Elements
The 16 elements required by plants are obtained from the soil, water and air.
Thirteen of these elements must be supplied by the soil.
Six of the soil elements required by plants are needed in relatively large amounts and are usually added to the soil through fertilizer or lime. These are called macronutrients.
The remaining 7 elements supplied by soil are required in very small amounts and are termed micronutrients.

Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms Nutrient deficiency symptoms usually appear
on the plant when one or more nutrients are in short supply.
In many cases, deficiency may occur because an added nutrient is not in the form the plant can use.
Deficiency symptoms for specific elements are included on the "Key to Nutrient Disorders".
![Page 10: Nutrient Deficiency in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815bbc550346895dc9ba8d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nutrient Deficiencies
Every soil is not susceptible to the same nutrient deficiencies.
For example, coarse-textured soils low in organic matter are susceptible to sulfur deficiencies whereas sulfur is usually in adequate supply in clayey soils or soils high in organic matter.
![Page 11: Nutrient Deficiency in Plants](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56815bbc550346895dc9ba8d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Macronutrient Deficiencies & SoilsElement Soil Factor Causing Deficiency
N & K Excessive leaching on coarse-textured low organic matter soils
P Acid low organic matter soils
Cold wet soils such as occurs during early spring
Newly cleared soils
S Excessive leaching on coarse-textured low organic matter soils in areas where air pollution is low (minimal levels of SO2 in the air)
Ca & Mg Excessive leaching on coarse-textured low organic matter soils
Soils where large amounts of K have been applied

Micronutrient Deficiencies & SoilsElement Soil Factor Causing Deficiency
Fe Poorly drained soils, Low organic matter soils, pH>7.0, Soils high in P
Zn Cold wet soils low in organic matter and highly leached, High pH soils (pH>7.0), Soils high in P, Exposed subsoils
Cu Peat and muck soils, High pH, sandy soils, Soils heavily fertilized with N
B Excessive leaching on coarse-textured low organic matter soils, Soils with pH>7.0
Mn Excessive leaching on coarse-textured low organic matter soils, Soil with pH>6.5
Mo Soils high in Fe oxides, high adsorption of molybdenum, Soil cropped for a long time

Deficiency Symptoms - N
General chlorosis. Chlorosis progresses
from light green to yellow.
Entire plant becomes yellow under prolonged stress.
Growth is immediately restricted and plants soon become spindly and drop older leaves.

Deficiency Symptoms - P
Leaves appear dull, dark green, blue green, or red-purple, especially on the underside, and especially at the midrib and vein.
Petioles may also exhibit purpling. Re striction in growth may be noticed.

Deficiency Symptoms - K
Leaf margins tanned, scorched, or have necrotic spots (may be small black spots which later coalesce).
Margins become brown and cup downward.
Growth is restricted and die back may occur.
Mild symptoms appear first on recently matured leaves.

Deficiency Symptoms - Ca
Growing points usually damaged or dead (die back).
Margins of leaves developing from the growing point are first to turn brown.

Deficiency Symptoms - Mg Marginal chlorosis or
chlorotic blotches which later merge.
Leaves show yellow chlorotic interveinal tissue on some species, reddish purple progressing to necrosis on others.
Younger leaves affected with continued stress.
Chlorotic areas may become necrotic, brittle, and curl upward.
Symptoms usually occur late in the growing season.

Deficiency Symptoms - S
Leaves uniformly light green, followed by yellowing and poor spindly growth.
Uniform chlorosis does not occur

Leaves wilt, become chlorotic, then necrotic.
Wilting and necrosis are not dominant symptoms.

Deficiency Symptoms - Mn
Chlorosis is less marked near veins.

Deficiency Symptoms - B
Young, expanding leaves may be necrotic or distorted followed by death of growing points.
