Solution

Micronutrient:

  1. Eight micronutrients are required for plant growth in soil: boron (B), chlorine (C), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), zinc (Zn), and nickel (Ni) .
  2. Plant micronutrients are nutrients contained in trace amounts in tissue and thus are necessary for plant growth and development.
  3. Without these nutrients, plant nutrition would be reduced, potentially resulting in poorer plant productivity.
  4. For a variety of reasons, the agricultural community is becoming more interested in micronutrient fertilizations.
  5. As a result of soil erosion and long-term farming, micronutrients have been lost from soils.
  6. Micronutrient clearance rates in grain and other harvested products are often higher when crop yields are higher.
  7. Micronutrient addition from fertilizer sources has decreased due to the widespread substitution of micronutrient-rich manures with mineral fertilizers.
  8. Zinc, manganese, boron, and iron are the most commonly provided micronutrients through fertilizations.
