**2. Non-mineral nutrients**

The non-mineral nutrients are hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and carbon (C). These elements help in the formation of tissues. They are responsible for the composition of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and hormones in plants [5]. Hydrogen (H) is the element that contrib‐ utes to nitrogen fixation and photosynthesis; this is due to their reducing capacity molecules, being a nutrient assimilated from the water. Oxygen (O) is extracted from atmosphere and water, it is used during the process of cell respiration, where sugar transferred by the photo‐ synthetic process is transformed into energy. The plant captures the Carbon (C) in the form of CO2 from atmosphere. It is an organic nutrient with function to ensure the occurrence of physical, chemical, and biological cycles, ensuring the maintenance of energy reserves throughout vegetative growth.
