Micronutrients

Micronutrients are essential mineral elements plants need in very small quantities for optimal growth, development, and reproduction, including boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, zinc, and chlorine. Micronutrients, also known as trace elements, are vital for plant health, but plants require them in much smaller amounts than macronutrients (like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) Despite their low concentration, micronutrients play crucial roles in various physiological and metabolic processes, including enzyme activation, chlorophyll synthesis, and nutrient uptake. Deficiency: Micronutrient deficiencies can lead to stunted growth, chlorosis (yellowing of leaves), necrosis (tissue death), and reduced yields.

Diagnosis and Management: Soil testing and plant analysis can help identify micronutrient deficiencies, and appropriate fertilization strategies can be implemented to address them.
