Elements functions
Boron (B) - Stimulates cell division, flower formation and pollination
Calcium (Ca) - Raises soil pH; promotes root hair formation and early growth
Chlorine (Cl) - Needed for photosynthesis; stimulates root growth and aids water circulation in plants
Cobalt (Co) - Improves growth, water circulation, and photosynthesis
Copper (Cu) - Stimulates stem development and pigment formation
Iron (Fe) - Stimulates the formation of chlorophyll and helps oxidize sugar for energy; also necessary for legume nitrogen fixation. It regulates the respiration of the plant's cells.
Magnesium (Mg) - Aids in chlorophyll formation and energy metabolism; it increases oil production in flax and soy beans; helps regulate uptake of other elements. It also promotes healthy, disease-resistant plants. It is generally available in acidic soils.
Manganese (Mn) - Necessary for the formation of chlorophyll
Molybdenum (Mo) - Needed for nitrogen fixation and nitrogen use in the plant; stimulates plant growth and vigor much like nitrogen
Nitrogen (N) - Necessary for chlorophyll and genetic material (DNA & RNA) formation; stimulates green, leafy growth
Phosphorous (P) - Necessary for genetic material (DNA & RNA) formation; stimulates fruit, flower and root production, and early season growth; increases disease resistance
Potassium (K) - Associated with movement of water, nutrients, and carbohydrates in plant tissue. Stimulates early growth. Helps in the building of protein, photosynthesis, fruit quality and reduction of diseases.
Silicon (Si) - Increases number of seeds; strengthens cell walls of plants
Sodium (Na) - Increases resistance to drought; increases sugar content in some crops
Sulfur (S) - Aids in formation of certain oil compounds that give specific odors to some plants such as onions, garlic, mustard, etc; increases oil production in flax and soy beans
Zinc (Z) - Stimulates stem growth and flower bud formation
Boron (B) - Stimulates cell division, flower formation and pollination
