What nutrient elements does sesame need for growth and development?

(Agricultural Wealth Network) The roots of sesame and the green parts above ground absorb nutrients and water from the soil and air, which are decomposed and synthesized within the plant and transformed into the various nutrients needed for growth and development. The nutrient components contained in the above-ground parts of sesame, in overall order from largest to smallest content, are nitrogen, silicon, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, aluminum, iron, sodium, and manganese. For the above-ground parts, the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus to potassium is 8.61 to 1 to 2.23. This indicates that sesame growth and development has a relatively large demand for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers, but other elements are also indispensable, especially silicon, calcium, magnesium, boron, and others.
