Abstract

Nutrients play an important role in controlling the delicate balance of ecosystems and ensuring the survival of various organisms. The availability of essential nutrients namely nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micro nutrients profoundly impacts the growth and productivity of plants, which in turn influences the entire food chain and ecosystem stability.
