PLNT 1213 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Active Transport, Solution, Organic Fertilizer
Document Summary
The plant cannot complete its life cycle without these elements. Deficiency symptoms can be corrected by applying the element. The element is directly involved in metabolic processes. Yield is proportional to the amount of the most limiting nutrient . Whichever input is limiting in the environment will limit yield. 17 plant essential nutrients: chopkns cafe mg b mn cl cuzn moni. Chopkins caf managed by mine close couzin monica: non mineral nutrients. These account for 96% of plant dry weight. Non- mineral: the plant gets them from air and water. These account for approximately 3. 5% of a plants dry weight. Plants require a lot of these, relative to micro"s: micronutrients. Not less important than the macro- nutrients. Active transport is required to move nutrients into the vascular system. A waxy layer in the root that forces absorbed soil solution to travel through the cells, rather than between the cells.
