    Solution

    The Law of Minimum, proposed by Justus von Liebig, states that the growth and yield of a crop are determined by the essential nutrient that is in the shortest supply. In other words, the availability of nutrients is like a chain, and the growth of plants is limited by the scarcest nutrient, not the total amount of nutrients present.
