Iron, Manganese, boron
These are micronutrients, required by plants in smaller amounts, but still required for the plant to carry out the processes it needs to grow properly. There are a total of 16 essential elements, I chose these because nobody else picked these.

N = Nitrogen
Nitrogen is the first major element responsible for the vegetative growth of plants above ground. With a good supply, plants grow sturdily and mature rapidly, with rich, dark green foliage.
P = Phosphorus
The second major element in plant nutrition, phosphorus is essential for healthy growth, strong roots, fruit and flower development, and greater resistance to disease.
K = Potassium (Potash)
The third major plant nutrient, potassium oxide, is essential for the development of strong plants. It helps plants resist diseases, protects them from the cold and during dry weather by preventing excessive water loss.
