Detailed explanation-1: -Nitrogen is actually considered the most important component for supporting plant growth. Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, which gives plants their green color and is involved in creating food for the plant through photosynthesis. Lack of nitrogen shows up as general yellowing (chlorosis) of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -The wellness of plant parts (leaves, roots, trunks e.t.c) depends on the availability of essential nutrients like nitrogen to enhance the plant’s biological processes including growth, absorption, transportation, and excretion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because nitrogen promotes leafy growth, too much nitrogen late in the season can minimize or delay fruiting.
