About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
