Module Overview

Plants require a balance of essential nutrients, including macro and micro nutrients to support their growth, development, reproduction and defence mechanisms. The availability of these nutrients depend on various factors including pH, organic matter content and climatic variability. Nutrient cycling is just one way soil fertility is maintained. This module explores the essential elements and nutrients required for plant growth, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and trace elements. It examines plant tolerance to varying nutrient levels and explores the nutrient cycling and bioaccumulation processes. The module also outlines the sources of nutrients in both containerised media and horticultural soils. Case studies are included to highlight real-world impacts of nutrient deficiencies.
