矿质元素（Mineral elements） Mineral elements are elements other than carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that are absorbed mainly by roots from the soil. Mineral elements are essential elements of plant growth, and without such elements, plants will not grow healthy. About the essential mineral elements in plants, wrote in the new high school biology textbooks: before scientists determine the essential mineral elements of 13 kinds of plants, including N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg belong to a large number of elements; Fe (also known as semi trace elements), Mn, B, Zn, Cu, Mo and Cl belong to trace elements. According to the latest version of plant physiology (Higher Education Press), it has been demonstrated that there are 16 kinds of mineral elements is essential for plant growth, namely Si, Na, Ni also is an essential mineral elements in plants, including Si Na, Ni for a large number of elements, trace elements. As a necessary mineral element for plants, there must be 3 conditions: (1) if there is no such element, the plant development will be unable to complete the life history. (2) by removing the element, the plant shows a specific deficiency, which can be prevented and restored. (3) the element should show direct results in plant nutrition physiology; it is by no means an indirect effect arising from changes in soil, or the physical, chemical, or microbiological conditions of the medium. N is absorbed in the form of NH4+ and NO3-, used in the production of proteins and chlorophyll, and in dry matter content of about 1-2%. When nitrogen deficiency is present, the old leaves turn yellow first. P is absorbed in the form of HPO42- and H2PO4- ions and is used for the generation of phospholipids, phosphate compounds, etc.. About 0.2% of dry matter. When P is absent, the leaves of the plant first turn yellow. K is absorbed in the form of K+. In plants, K+ is used to control stomatal opening, as well as some kinase activators. Accounting for 1% of dry matter. Old leaves appear dead spots
