Indoor Plant Nutrient Transport Mechanisms

FAQ About Indoor Plant Nutrient Transport Mechanisms

What is the difference between macro and micronutrient transport in plants?

Macronutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, are needed in larger quantities and play significant roles in plant structure and energy transfer. Micronutrients, like iron, zinc, and manganese, are required in smaller amounts but are essential for biochemical processes and enzyme function. Both are transported through xylem and phloem but might have different pathways depending on their chemical nature.
