1 Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, three of the essential plant nutrients, are taken up from the atmosphere and from water. The other essential nutrients come from the soil.  The major nutrients, or macronutrients, supplied by the soil are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, magnesium and calcium.
Phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen are the three main nutrients needed for healthy lawns. Nitrogen promotes vigorous growth and the green color of healthy grass. Potassium helps the grass fight disease and stay healthy. Phosphorus is important for root health and early plant development.Like potassium, phosphorus also helps the grass fight disease.oo much phosphorus in the soil can create other problems. Phosphorus clings to soil particles and moves slowly through the soil. Grass and other plants need phosphorus, but in general they do not need much.
