Nitrogen's Role in Plants

Nitrogen is always the nutrient in highest demand by plants, due to the greater content of nitrogen present on a dry weight basis in comparison to any other nutrient.
Nitrogen is a primary component of amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. Thus, by adding nitrogen to soil the protein content in plants is increased.
Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, and a part of numerous enzymes and coenzymes. Chlorophyll is responsible for photosynthesis, where sunlight is absorbed and stored in the plant as sugars and proteins.
Therefore, nitrogen is an integral part of photosynthesis.
Signs of nitrogen deficiency – reduced plant growth, yellowing of the leaf, early crop maturing.

Phosphorus’s Role in Plants

The most important role of phosphorus is the storage and transfer of energy that is generated through photosynthesis along with the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Phosphorus is an essential compound of Adenosine Triphosphate (ADP), the energising component driving plant development.
Phosphorus deficiency has a huge impact on plant growth and reproduction, reducing the plant processes noted below.
Processes aided by phosphorus:
- Large root growth
- Early formation of plant shoots
- Improved stalk and stem strength in crops
- Improved fruit, vegetable, and grain quality
- Seed formation
- Resistance to moisture and colder temperatures

Calcium's role in crops and pastures

Calcium is vital for both plant and animal growth
An essential part of the plant cell wall and membranes, aiding in plant structure and stability
Earthworm activity is increased by the presence of calcium in the soil profile, therefore natural soil aeration is also increased
Boosts soil microorganism activity, improving soil structure
Calcium deficiency affects fruit crop quality and growth, and limits biological activity
Calcium and magnesium work in synergy to promote stable soil structure
Involved in the signalling of the availability of other nutrients (e.g. potassium), through its secondary messenger characteristics
Assists in protecting the plant from biotic stresses
