Nutrients can be available in both organic and inorganic forms. In the context of soil, inorganic nutrients refer to the mineral elements, such as boron, originating from soil or rock, or the inorganic fertilisers, including phosphorus, sulphur, and nitrogen. Separating organic and inorganic nutrients can be challenging, as many are continually cycling between these forms. Organic nutrients bound with carbon must be decomposed before the nutrients they contain are released.
