Plant diseases play a major limiting role in agricultural production. The use of classical pesticides for controlling plant diseases brings up concerns about food safety, environmental quality, and pesticide resistance. This is why alternative pest management techniques are needed. Specifically, nutrients can affect the disease tolerance of plants.
Essential nutrients in our diet help our bodies function properly and stay healthy. Plants follow a similar approach. In addition to needing light and water to survive, they require a balance of essential nutrients to sustain their growth. In plant nutrition, it is important that there is no deficiency in primary or secondary macronutrients, as well as essential micronutrients. Furthermore, these nutrients must be present in the proper amounts.

Primary & Secondary Macronutrients
Macronutrients are required for plant growth and overall plant health. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) are the three primary macronutrients. Secondary macronutrients are also essential for plant health. However, they are consumed in smaller amounts than the primary macronutrients. The secondary macronutrients are Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Sulfur (S). The table below illustrates the role of primary and secondary macronutrients in supporting plant growth and preventing diseases and what happens when they are missing.

Micronutrients
Micronutrients also have an effect on plant health and reduce the severity of diseases in plants. They are needed in much smaller quantities than primary and secondary plant nutrients. Micronutrients include Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Boron (B), Chlorine (Cl) , Iron (Fe), and Silicone (Si). The table below illustrates the function of macronutrients in plant health and preventing disease and what happens when they are missing.
