Mineral Nutrients
and Their Deficiency
Symptoms
MINERAL NUTRIENTS: “Are elements acquired
primarily in the form of inorganic ions from the soil.”
Although mineral nutrients continually cycle through all
organisms, they enter the biosphere predominantly through the
root systems of plants, so in a sense plants act as the “miners "of
Earth’s crust (Epstein1999).
The large surface area of roots and their ability to absorb
inorganic ions at low concentrations from the soil solution make
mineral absorption by plants a very effective process.
After being absorbed by the roots, the mineral elements are
translocated to the various parts of the plant, where they are
utilized in numerous biological functions.
ESSENTIALNUTRIENTS, DEFICIENCIES,
AND PLANT DISORDERS:
Only certain elements have been determined to be
essential for plant growth. An essential element is
defined as one whose absence prevents a plant from
completing its life cycle (Arnon and Stout 1939) or one
that has a clear physiological role (Epstein 1999).
If plants are given these essential elements, as well as
energy from sunlight, they can synthesize all the
compounds they need for normal
growth.
