Field pumpkin requires several essential nutrients for healthy growth, including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Nitrogen promotes vigorous foliage growth, phosphorus is crucial for root development, and potassium enhances fruit quality. Additionally, micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur play significant roles in various plant functions. Ensuring that the soil has a balanced supply of these nutrients is vital for a bountiful harvest.
