Functions

• Cation balance, transport
• Diminishes effect of fungal infections
• May compete with nitrate uptake, promoting use of ammonium, which may factor in its role in disease suppression
• Works in tandem with K for the proper function of stomatal openings, controlling internal water balance
• Photosynthesis specifically the control of gas/water exchange

Functions

• Co-factor in the enzyme nitrate-reductase
• Aids in the conversion of nitrates to ammonium (initial stage of synthesis of proteins)
• Helps plants to utilize nitrate N
• Essential for rhizobia to enable legume crops to fix aerobic (atmospheric) N
• Involved in phosphate and Fe metabolism
