other mineral elements that make up the plant account for only 1.5% of the dry weight (0.15 x 0.10 = 0.015). Three main elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N, P, K) and are required in abundance. They must be readily available through soil medium or fertilizer. The secondary elements are sulfur, calcium, and magnesium (S, Ca, Mg).

Read MorePlant cannot take solid salts. The salts (minerals) dissolve in soil-water and converted to Cation (+) and Anion (-), root absorb them as ions. Na+ is a Cation cr is an Anion. Kt, Ca-I+ are Cations; NO3, P0; SO are Anions. Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots. The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves.

It means that the absorption of ions takes place against concentration gradient. The relative concentration of ions found in the cell sap and soil solution gives absorption ratio.

Read MorePotato plants require over 14 essential mineral elements (), which include both macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) and trace elements (Cl, Fe, Mn, B, Zn, Cu, Mo and Ni).These are generally acquired from the soil solution by the root system. For adequate nutrition and, to avoid mineral toxicities, the concentrations of these elements in plant tissues must be maintained within certain limits.
