Plants require both macronutrients and micronutrients for their growth and development. Macronutrients are primary and secondary elements needed in larger amounts, including Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur. On the other hand, micronutrients are essential elements required in smaller quantities, such as Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum, and Chlorine.
