Beginner's Guide of Plant's Nutrient Deficiency

Not all plant problems are caused by insects or diseases. Sometimes a diseased plant is suffering from a nutrient deficiency or overload, which means too much of a given nutrient. Plant nutrient deficiencies often manifest as discoloration or distortion of leaves and stems.

Unfortunately, many problems have similar symptoms, and sometimes they are a combination of problems, so handling the problem can be a bit of trial and error. If you cannot remedy the situation, take a sample of the diseased plant to your local cooperative extension service for a definitive diagnosis.

Plants require a mix of nutrients to stay healthy. Nutrients that are needed in relatively large amounts are called macronutrients. Plant macronutrients include nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, and magnesium.

There are a handful of additional nutrients that are needed for plant growth, but in much smaller amounts. These micronutrients include boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.
