1.) Nitrates and magnesium are two important mineral ions needed for healthy plant growth.
2.) If mineral ions are deficient, a plant develops symptoms because it cannot grow properly.
3.) Plant roots absorb mineral salts including nitrate and magnesium.
4.) Nitrates are needed to make amino acids which are needed to make proteins. A shortage leads to stunted growth.
5.) Magnesium is needed for chlorophyll production and a shortage leads to pale, yellow leaves.
