Comment on What are the three main nutrients a plant needs what happens if it doesnt get enough of it? by Dr Alexi

Magnesium – used to produce chlorophyll hence necessary for photosynthesis. A deficiency results in yellow leaves.

Nitrogen – necessary for protein-synthesis (making proteins from amino acids). Proteins are used for growth so a nitrogen defficiency causes stunted growth.

Carbon dioxide – vital for photosynthesis and for carbon cycling. Does not grow without CO2

Ditto for water.

Hedge Witch has it right.Plants do not need soil to grow.The soil triggers the chemicals when water is added,but this can be done without soil also

Bit too long to help with fully – but Nitrogen maintains greeness of leaves, Phosporous for growth & Potassium for flowering/fruiting

Comment on About Plant Nutrients in different stages of growth.? by Nerderella

Nerderella — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:20:59 +0000

As much as I would like to give you a definitive answer on this one, it is rather impossible — much like asking, "How many hairs are on my body?" Each plant is different and has different requirements at these stages and more. I mean, if we are going to make a generalization, we can say that NPK is needed at every stage.

Another thing to think about is the environment that the plant is being grown in. Is it inside or out? Is it in a desert or a forest? Is it a spring ephemeral or a long day crop? What type of soil is it in (what is the composition of the organic matter)? Etc.

I’m sorry I can’t give you a better answer, but I don’t want to give you an answer that would be correct for one type of plant and not representative of all plants across the board. I’ll continue to check back to see if you update, and if so, will revise my answer to accommodate the new information.

Comment on About Plant Nutrients in different stages of growth.? by hairyford2

i cant answer your question but ill make some suggestions. i use a soil consultant for my fertilizer decisions.

since you mentioned ppm through water i assume you are referring to hydroponics or possibly fertigation (injecting fertilizer into your irrigation water for crops grown in soil).

i know nothing about hydroponics. you should include the word in your question so that it might catch the eye of someone who does know about it.

i know a little bit about fertigation. the biggest advantage to fertigation is you are able to spoon feed nitrogen to your crop throughout the growing season as opposed to giving it two or three large doses. spoon feeding the nitrogen increases yeilds while decreasing the amount of nitrogen used. more of the fertilizer is taken up by the plant than escapes into the air. as for the other nutrients, i believe it is better to apply them to the soil before planting. aim to balance your cation.
boron is another nutrient that is injected on cotton. it is important for boll set.
one factor that comes into play is the crop you are trying to grow. what are you trying to grow???

there is a book that your state university is likely to have that might be close to what you are looking for. i cant remember the name but i have had copies from it in the past. it is a list of known cultivated plants and their desired tissue analysis for different growth stages. it requires that you have tissue tests run so you can compare numbers.

in my experience, if you balance the fertility of your soil you will only need to worry about spoon feeding the nitrogen.

Comment on How does water and nutrients get inside of a plant that has no vascular system?? by bioguy

bioguy — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:47:59 +0000

Plants without a vascular system such as moss are very thin. Without vessels such as xylem or phloem and no true roots, plants such as moss depend upon diffusion. That is why they are thin. Water and gases can simply diffuse through a cell....

Nutrients come from the seeds at first.

Comment on Do plant roots truly take nutrients directly from the soil, or do they uptake “dissolved nutrients”? by Texas R

Texas R — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 10:57:59 +0000

Both. Nutrients are found in the soil, on the soil colloid and in the soil solution. The nutrient reaches the plant hair cell wall through one of three ways.

Root interception. The root literally grows into the specific nutrient.

Mass Flow: When the stomata opens, releasing moisture and gas into the atmosphere, it acts like a pump bringing water into the plant root. This in turn, brings soil water closer to the plant. This sum action/cycle by all plants combined forms the largest pumping system on the planet.

Diffusion: Soil nutrients move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. As the plant transports nutrients past the rhizosphere and into the plant, the nutrient concentration decreases in the rhizosphere solution. Thus nutrients will move through the soil solution from an area of higher concentration (a distance away from the root) to an area of lower concentration (the volume of solution close to the root).

Hope this helps.
