Key Topics to Revise
1
Essential Elements and Their Criteria
- Plants require 17 essential elements for normal growth and reproduction.
- Essential elements must satisfy three criteria: they are necessary for growth, irreplaceable, and directly involved in plant nutrition.
- Elements are classified as macronutrients (needed in large amounts) and micronutrients (needed in small amounts).
2
Macronutrients and Micronutrients
- Macronutrients: C, H, O, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S — required in large quantities.
- Micronutrients: Fe, Mn, B, Zn, Cu, Mo, Cl — required in trace amounts.
- C, H, O are obtained from air and water; others mainly from soil.
3
Hydroponics and Aeroponics
- Hydroponics is growing plants in nutrient-rich water without soil.
- Aeroponics involves growing plants in air with roots misted by nutrient solution.
- Both methods allow precise control over mineral supply and are used in research and modern farming.
