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.
Each is equally important to the plant, yet each is required in vastly different amounts. These differences have led to the grouping of these essential elements into three categories; primary (macro) nutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. Primary (macro) nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
