16 elements have been identified and are established to be essential for plant growth.
There are carbon (C),
hydrogen (H),
Oxygen (O),
nitrogen (N),
phosphorus(P),
potassium (K),
calcium(Ca),
magnesium (Mg),
sulphur(S),
iron (Fe),
zinc (Zn),
manganese (Mn),
copper (Cu),
boron (B),
molybdenum (Mo),
and chlorine (Cl).
Essential plant nutrients
P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
Major nutrients
Group I : Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Group II: Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
Secondary Nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, sulphur
Micro nutrients:
Iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, molybdenum and chlorine.
Essential plant nutrients
P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
Essential plant nutrient:
i). The completion of the life cycle of the plant cannot be
achieved in the absence of such an element.
ii). Plays a specific role in the plant.
iii). Causes set back to growth of the plant showing visual
symptoms when the plant is deficient in it.

Essential plant nutrients
P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
Nitrogen is the basic nutrient and makes up 1-4% of day weight of
plants and it forms chlorophyll, amino acids, proteins, alkaloids and
protoplasm.
When the plant takes up large quantities of nitrogen from the soil the colour of the
plant changes to dark-green, indicating the increase of chlorophyll in the plant.
When there is less uptake of nitrogen, the leaves remain small and pale-yellow in
colour.
As the level of nitrogen supply increases, compared with other nutrients, the extra
protein produced enlarges the leaves which provides larger leaf surface for photosynthesis
and makes the leaves more succulent and less coarse, increases the length of the growing
season and delays maturity.
In relation to shoot growth the root growth is depressed.
But when the crop plants become more succulent due to larger availability of nitrogen they
become susceptible to pest and diseases.
Role of
nitrogen in
plant
P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
Phosphorus makes 0.1 to 0.5% of dry weight of the plant.
Plants which cannot absorb adequate quantities of phosphorus from the soil have
small root system and leaves and their growth is stunted.
In cereals tillering is reduced and maturity is delayed.
Phosphorus is particularly helpful in the production of legumes, as it increases the
activity of nodular bacteria which fix nitrogen in the soil.
It stimulates early root growth and development.
Optimum quantity of phosphorus available to the crop in
combination with nitrogen balances their shoot and root growth.
Role of
phosphorus
in plant
P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
• The stalks and stems (of plants) are more stiff when an
adequate supply of potassium is available. The lodging in
cereals is reduced due to adequate availability of potassium.
• It increases the plumpness of the grains. In general it imparts
vigour and resistance to diseases.

One of the objectives of soil tests is to sort out the nutrient deficient areas from
non-deficient ones.
This information is important for determining whether the soils could supply
adequate nutrients for optimum crop production or not.
Indiscriminate use of fertilizer is not only increases the cost of crop production but
also results in deleterious effects on soil fertility.
The concept of balanced nutrition of crops also guides the use of plant nutrients in a
definite proportion as required by the crops which is possible only if one knows the
available nutrient status of his soils.

Plant nutrients and soil test based fertilizer application pijush kanti mukherjee-ivri

  • 1. Soil test based fertilizer recommendation in different crops Dr Pijush Kanti Mukherjee Senior Scientist (Agronomy), Div. of Extension Education ICAR-IVRI, Bareilly, UP Mobile:9536551548 Email:pkm_agronomy@yahoo.co.in pijushivri@gmail.com
  • 2. 16 elements have been identified and are established to be essential for plant growth. There are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus(P), potassium (K), calcium(Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulphur(S), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), and chlorine (Cl). Essential plant nutrients P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
  • 3. Major nutrients Group I : Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Group II: Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium Secondary Nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, sulphur Micro nutrients: Iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, molybdenum and chlorine. Essential plant nutrients P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
  • 4. Essential plant nutrient: i). The completion of the life cycle of the plant cannot be achieved in the absence of such an element. ii). Plays a specific role in the plant. iii). Causes set back to growth of the plant showing visual symptoms when the plant is deficient in it. Essential plant nutrients P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI

  • 6. Nitrogen is the basic nutrient and makes up 1-4% of day weight of plants and it forms chlorophyll, amino acids, proteins, alkaloids and protoplasm. When the plant takes up large quantities of nitrogen from the soil the colour of the plant changes to dark-green, indicating the increase of chlorophyll in the plant. When there is less uptake of nitrogen, the leaves remain small and pale-yellow in colour. As the level of nitrogen supply increases, compared with other nutrients, the extra protein produced enlarges the leaves which provides larger leaf surface for photosynthesis and makes the leaves more succulent and less coarse, increases the length of the growing season and delays maturity. In relation to shoot growth the root growth is depressed. But when the crop plants become more succulent due to larger availability of nitrogen they become susceptible to pest and diseases. Role of nitrogen in plant P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
  • 7. Phosphorus makes 0.1 to 0.5% of dry weight of the plant. Plants which cannot absorb adequate quantities of phosphorus from the soil have small root system and leaves and their growth is stunted. In cereals tillering is reduced and maturity is delayed. Phosphorus is particularly helpful in the production of legumes, as it increases the activity of nodular bacteria which fix nitrogen in the soil. It stimulates early root growth and development. Optimum quantity of phosphorus available to the crop in combination with nitrogen balances their shoot and root growth. Role of phosphorus in plant P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI
  • 8. • The stalks and stems (of plants) are more stiff when an adequate supply of potassium is available. The lodging in cereals is reduced due to adequate availability of potassium. • It increases the plumpness of the grains. In general it imparts vigour and resistance to diseases. Role of potassium in plant P K Mukherjee, ICAR-IVRI

  • 33. One of the objectives of soil tests is to sort out the nutrient deficient areas from non-deficient ones. This information is important for determining whether the soils could supply adequate nutrients for optimum crop production or not. Indiscriminate use of fertilizer is not only increases the cost of crop production but also results in deleterious effects on soil fertility. The concept of balanced nutrition of crops also guides the use of plant nutrients in a definite proportion as required by the crops which is possible only if one knows the available nutrient status of his soils.
