Nickel: has recently been determined to be an essential trace element for plants by a group of scientists at the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service . It is Required for the enzyme urease , which most plants use to break down urea into usable forms of nitrogen and is also necessary for iron absorption . Plants grown without a suitable supply of nickel will gradually reach a deficient level at the time of sexual maturity which will of-course effect any planned reproduction.

Sodium: is involved in water movement throughout the tissue of the plant and ionic balance high levels however can throw this balance out , It is an element that is often found in tap water though rarely in it's available form. Being a very reactive element the incorrect ratios can be very detrimental to the plant if it is allowed to build up.

Cobalt: is required for nitrogen fixation and root nodules , because of this deficient levels can easly result in nitrogen deficiency.

Silicon: deposited in cell walls , has been found to improve heat and drought tolerance and increase resistance to insects and fungal infections. Silicon, acting as a beneficial element can help to compensate for toxic levels of manganese, iron, phosphorus and aluminum aswell as build a barrier against zinc deficiency . Plants with a regular supply of soluble silicon produce stronger, tougher cell walls creating a barrier from mouth of sucking insects . Tests have also found that silicon can be deposited by the plants at the site of a fungal infection to combat the infection of the attacking fungal disease . Much of the silicon found in the ground is not naturally usable as it is found in solids hard to break down easily however studies have shown that if you give your plant water , that it is just about impossible in most area's of the world to totally deprive your plant of silicon , as even distilled water contains a certain amount, it can however be helpful to add additional silicon to the system for extra benefit

Can the missing Nickel be a problem???

I have always added Technaflora Soluble Seaweed Extract 1-1-16 for more Potassium, but I think it has been supplementing Nickel.
