Sixteen elements are known to be important to a plant's growth and survival. They are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulphur, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, molyhdenum, boron, iron, chloride
and manganese.
The elements required for plant growth and development are divided into two groups: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients is again divided into
two groups: primary and secondary nutrients. The primary nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These major nutrients usually are lacking from
the soil because plants use large amounts for their growth and survival. The secondary nutrients are calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). Our product Teracare
provides the secondary nutrients required for crop plant.
Micronutrients are those elements essential for plant growth that are needed in only very small (micro) quantities. These elements are also called minor elements or trace elements. Indian soils are generally deficient in micronutrients. Our product TeraBase provides the micronutrients required for crop plant.
