7 Most Important Micronutrients for Plants As micronutrients, there are seven important elements for plants: Boron (B), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo), and Chlorine (Cl). Overall, they make up less than 1% of the dry weight of the majority of plants. The discussion that follows mostly focuses on the …

They absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots, which are then transported through the stem to the various parts above ground level. They need two kinds of nutrients: macronutrients and micronutrients. Become IMMA Member Now! Plant …
Micronutrients Micronutrients are little amounts of important elements utilised by plants. Crop uptake of most micronutrients is less than one pound per acre. Despite this minimal demand, if micronutrients are not available, important plant functions are hampered, resulting in plant deformities, restricted growth, and lower production. In such instances, costly, high-demand crop inputs like nitrogen …
