More about HYDROPONIC NUTRIENT: NPK and micro nutrients are both important for plant growth, but they serve different purposes.

NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), which are the three primary macronutrients required by plants in relatively large quantities. These macronutrients are essential for healthy plant growth and development.

Nitrogen is important for the production of chlorophyll, the green pigment that plants use to convert sunlight into energy. Phosphorus is essential for the development of strong roots, stems, and flowers, and also plays a role in energy transfer within the plant. Potassium is important for maintaining the plant's water balance and supporting the growth of strong stems and leaves.

On the other hand, micro nutrients are essential minerals required by plants in small quantities. These include elements such as iron, zinc, manganese, boron, copper, and molybdenum. While they are required in smaller amounts, they are still critical for many aspects of plant growth, such as photosynthesis, enzyme activity, and overall health.

For example, iron is important for the production of chlorophyll, while zinc plays a role in the production of growth hormones. Manganese is important for photosynthesis, and boron helps regulate the plant's metabolism. Copper is important for the development of strong cell walls, and molybdenum is involved in nitrogen fixation.

In summary, NPK are the primary macronutrients required by plants in larger quantities, while micro nutrients are essential minerals required in smaller quantities, but still critical for many aspects of plant growth and development.
