Introduction:
The nutrients are the atoms, molecules, elements or the compounds required by the living organisms for their growth and development. The plants obtain nutrients from the soil or synthesize through photosynthesis. On the basis of requirements, the nutrients are of two types, namely micronutrients and macronutrients. The micronutrients are usually required in parts per million, whereas the macronutrients are required in somewhat larger amounts.
