How does a plant acquire nutrients?

TN-06-Science http://inpeth.com/concept/-6bDZPapq8k... Plants are essential for everyone. To get quick and large yield, farmers grow seasonal crops such as paddy, wheat, sugarcane, corn etc.. Let's see, how does plants grow and what materials they require. Similar to humans, plants also require carbohydrate, protein, water, and minerals for growth and energy. Plants fulfil their need of carbohydrates by preparing food using sunlight. In this process, they combine carbon dioxide from atmosphere to water from soil. This process is known as photosynthesis. For other nutrients such as protein and minerals, plants have to depend on soil. They absorb nutrients through root and with water, these nutrients reach to different parts of plant. Minerals and proteins are essential for growth and formation of seed, root, and fruits, These nutrients also help plant fight diseases. Proteins are nitrogen based nutrients. Because of it, new parts in the plants are formed. Nitrogen is absorbed from soil. Potassium plays an important role in the formation of leaves and seeds. It also helps in fighting diseases. Phosphorus plays a vital role in producing chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll, plants can not perform photosynthesis. It also helps in growth of fruits, flowers, and root system. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium are known as principal nutrients. They are also represented as N P K. Soil rich in nutrients is known as fertile soil. Requirement of nutrients vary from plant to plant. For example: Groundnut has more protein compared to same amount of rice. Crop of groundnut requires more nitrogen compared to crop of rice.
