Elements in the soil absorbed by plants for growth.

Effectively a plant’s food. Key to growth

Minerals required for healthy plant growth.

A substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.

substances such as elements, minerals and vitamins that provide nourishment essential or beneficial to plant life or healthy growth. Some nutrients are required; others are helpful, but not essential. See also: fertilizer. essential nutrients

definition – (Nutrients in the Pond, Pond Nutrients) – is usually referring to those compounds that develop from dead bugs, rotting leaves, fish waste, dead algae, pollen and any organic matter that decays in the water. These compounds basically form a food broth or nutrient level that encourages algae growth. Successful pond keepers encourage bene [..]

The elements needed by plants for normal growth and health. The major nutrients (MACRONUTRIENTS) are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), but there are numerous MICRONUTRIENTS (also called TRACE ELEMENTS) which also have integral roles in maintaining plant health. A good quality hydroponic nutrient formula will contain all of the major [..]

The elements other than N, P and K which are considered nearly as important as N, P and K but are not considered micronutrients. Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulphur (S) are the elements usually referred to by this term.

Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. These are provided by food and are necessary for growth and the maintenance of life.

Substances that provide the plant with nourishment including nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, potassium and magnesium. A soil deficient in these elements will produce poor plants. The three nutrients most [..]

like any living creature, yeast require nutrients to remain healthy while performing their duty (i.e. fermentation). The essential nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorous, which are typically packaged [..]

chemistry - a term referring to all nitrogen and phosphorus species, usually includes total-P, ortho-P, TKN, NO3+NO2, NH3

Nutrients are the components in foods that an organism uses to survive and grow. They provide nourishment and help the body make energy amongst other things.

Substances in foods that the body needs to survive.

any substance required by an organism that cannot be synthesized by the organism and has to be obtained from an external source; some examples of nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus, and iron

Chemicals (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) that plants and animals need to live and grow. At high concentrations, particularly in water, nutrients can become pollutants.

Those constituents required by organisms for maintenance and growth

The elements taken in by the plant essential to its growth.

Dissolved phosphorus, nitrogen and silicon compounds

Nutrients are chemical compounds found in the environment which are essential for growth and well being. Specific nutrients enable specific functions.

Dissolved phosphorus, nitrogen and silicate compounds

Chemical elements required by plants for their growth and existence. Various nutrients are used for countless basic functions, such as manufacturing proteins and plant cells. The best-known plant nutr [..]

materials which are considered essential to the support of biological life.

Essential chemicals needed by plants and animals for growth. Excessive amounts of nutrients, nitrogen, and phosphorus, for example, can lead to degradation of water quality and growth of excessive amo [..]

Essential elements or compounds in the development of living things. Oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous are examples.

Include several naturally occurring chemicals that animals and plants need to grow. In water quality, we usually refer to plant nutrients and these are different forms of nitrogen (eg oxidized nitrogen, ammonia) and phosphorus. They can cause excessive growth of algae, which can clog waterways and occasionally blue-green algae, which can be toxic.

substances that help plants and animals grow. Examples of nutrients in water include nitrogen or phosphorus compounds.

Microorganisms, like people, require adequate levels of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids (fats and oils), minerals, and vitamins to support basic metabolic processes.

A food source for micro-organisms.

such as nitrogen and phosphorous are necessary for the growth of plants, but excess nutrients can accelerate the growth of algae or aquatic weeds. In marine waters the limiting nutrient is nitrogen, s [..]

Chemicals that plants and animals need to grow and survive but, in excess amounts, can harm aquatic environments. Elevated levels of the nutrients nitrogen and phosphorous are the main cause of poor w [..]

A chemical that an organism needs in order to live and grow. Nutrients are used to build and repair tissues, regulate body processes, and are used to convert and use energy in the body. Some nutrients [..]

Important for plant growth. High levels of nutrients can lead to algal bloom development.

A substance that provides nourishment.

Essential chemicals needed by plants or animals for growth. Excessive amounts of nutrients can lead to degradation of water quality and the growth of excessive numbers of algae. Some nutrients can be toxic at high concentrations.

Various types of materials that become dissolved in water and induce plant growth.

chemicals required for the growth of organisms. Phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium are major plant nutrients but there are also many trace elements, elements that are needed in small quantities for th [..]

Elements (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus) and trace elements (including sulfur, potassium, calcium, and magnesium) that are essential for the growth of organisms.

Mineral elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium that are naturally present, or added as fertilizer.

A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce. The requirement for dietary nutrient intake applies to animals, plants, fungi, and protists. Nutrients can be incorporate [..]

Nutrients is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing reviews, regular research papers, and short communications on all aspects of nutrition. It was established in 2009 and is publis [..]
