Question

Phosphorous and nitrogen ions generally get depleted in soil because they usually occur as, Neutral ions, Negatively charged ions, Positively charged ions, Both positively and negatively charged but disproportionate mixture

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Phosphorus is absorbed by the plants from the soil in the form of phosphate ions H 2 PO 4 - and HPO 2 2- , and nitrogen is absorbed by the plants in the form of nitrate ions (NO 3- ). The negatively charged mineral ions can be easily absorbed by the plants because they are not adsorbed on soil particles.
