2.Phosphorus - Development of roots, flowers, seeds and fruits,
3.Potassium - Strong stem growth, movement of water in plants and promotion of flowering and fruits.
Three secondary macronutrients: calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), and sulphur(S).
Micronutrients: copper(Cu), iron(Fe), manganese(Mn), molybdenum(Mo), zinc(Zn), boron(B), and of occasional significance there are silicon(Si), cobalt(Co), and vanadium(V) plus rare mineral catalysts.
Plants are made up of four main elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen
