Soil nutrients are minerals which are required for growth either small or relatively large quantities
<h3>What are soil minerals?</h3>
Soil minerals are the metallic and non-metallic nutrients found in the soil which are required by plants for growth.
Based on plants requirements, the major nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Plants also require other nutrients like copper, zinc, sulfur, iron, etc., in smaller quantities.
Based on the results of the soil test:
- The deficiencies nutrients are copper and potassium
- The excess nutrients are phosphorus, sulfur, iron and zinc
The deficiencies and excesses can be corrected by selectively reducing the application of the excess soil nutrients and addition of the deficient nutrients.
