Micronutrients are essential for plant growth and play an important role in balanced crop nutrition. They include boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and chloride (Cl). They are as important to plant nutrition as primary and secondary macronutrients, though plants don\u2019t require as much of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Some motives restricting the incidental additions of micronutrients include:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
High-yield crop demands remove micronutrients from the soil<\/span><\/li>\n
Increased use of high-evaluation NPK fertilizers containing less amount of micronutrient contaminants<\/span><\/li>\n
Advances in fertilizer technology minimize the residual addition of micronutrients.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Plant growth and development can be retarded if any of those factors is lacking within the soil or isn\u2019t properly balanced with other nutrients. A lack of any one of the micronutrients in the soil can limit growth, even when all other nutrients are present in adequate amounts.<\/span><\/p>\n
Micronutrient Functions in Plants<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
\n
Most micronutrients are a part of the enzyme systems of plants.<\/span><\/li>\n
Micronutrients play vital roles in redox reactions<\/span><\/li>\n
Micronutrients play vital roles in photosynthesis.<\/span><\/li>\n
Micronutrients are vital in reactions including N fixation and Protein synthesis.<\/span><\/li>\n
Cl is basically concerned in osmotic and cation neutralization.<\/span><\/li>\n
Copper, Ferrous, and Molybdenum are active in the oxidation-reduction reactions in plants that are important for photosynthesis, and other metabolic processes.<\/span><\/li>\n
Fe is involved in chlorophyll synthesis and may be deficient in turf grass, particularly if soil is alkaline. Any circumstance that restricts root growth also can cause iron deficiency, for example, compaction.<\/span><\/li>\n
Zn and Mn are important for sure N transformations in plants.<\/span><\/li>\n
Ni is important for the feature of the urease enzyme.<\/span><\/li>\n
Mo is important for symbiotic fixation of N.<\/span><\/li>\n
B is involved in cell division, and seed formation.<\/span><\/li>\n
Co is important for the growth of symbiotic microorganisms, including rhizobia, free-living N-fixing bacteria<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
