Plant Physiology Mineral Nutrition Laboratory Report.
Introduction The study of how plants absorb and assimilate inorganic ions is called mineral nutrition. This area of research is central to modern agriculture and environmental protection. High agricultural yields depend strongly on fertilization with mineral elements. Mineral elements are acquired primarily in the form of organic ions, and they continually cycle through all organisms and their environment. Mineral elements enter the biosphere primarily through the root systems of plants, so in a sense plants …showed first 75 words of 3191 total…

Therefore, the study of symptoms of certain mineral deficiencies is an important part in early recognition of what needs to change in the way we are growing our food crops as well as many other types of plants used today. This way, we can avoid poor crop yields and nutritionally weak food products. Works Cited Taiz, Lincoln and Eduardo Zeiger. 1998. Plant Physiology, Second Edition.
