2. Nitrogen deficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_deficiency

   Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [1] This is known as "robbing" the soil of nitrogen. All vegetables apart from nitrogen fixing legumes are prone to this disorder. Nitrogen deficiency can be prevented by using grass mowings as a mulch or foliar feeding with manure.

5. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

   Nitrogen is plentiful in the Earth's atmosphere, and a number of commercially-important agricultural plants engage in nitrogen fixation (conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to a biologically useful form). However, plants mostly receive their nitrogen through the soil, where it is already converted in biological useful form.

6. Carbon-to-nitrogen ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-to-nitrogen_ratio

   The C:N ratio of soil can be modified by the addition of materials such as compost, manure, and mulch. A feedstock with a near-optimal C:N ratio will be consumed quickly. Any excess C will cause the N originally in the soil to be consumed, competing with the plant for nutrients (immobilization) – at least temporarily until the microbes die.
