Q

The following are the conditions required for nutrient uptake by plants:

A
  1. Actively growing plants – anything that affects the metabolism of the plant will affect nutrient uptake.
  2. Metabolic energy – plant roots must be able to respire and soils must have oxygen.
  3. Root hairs – these are the most active points of nutrient uptake.
