Question

Nutrients which are needed in large quantities by the plants are called macronutrients.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

There are sixteen nutrients which are essential for plants. Air supplies carbon and oxygen, hydrogen comes from water, and soil supplies the other thirteen nutrients to plants. Among these thirteen nutrients, six are required in large quantities and are therefore called macronutrients. The other seven nutrients are used by plants in small quantities and are therefore called micro-nutrients.
