Micro Nutrients

Additional Details

Micronutrients are essential elements that are used for the growth and regulation of the vital physiological activities of the plant. Although they are needed in minute quantities, they are as important as macronutrients. Overall, the application of micronutrients in agriculture has grown in importance in the recent past because of its effectiveness on overall quality and crop productivity. Micronutrient deficiencies have increased worldwide due to crop intensity, intensive use of chemical fertilizers, extraction of micronutrient reserves, and extensive irrigation facilities. Micronutrient deficient soil affects plant growth and yield. To replenish micronutrient needs at the crop level, crops are applied with micronutrients based on nutrient deficiency and specific needs. Growth in the market for agricultural micronutrients has increased considerably as a result of increased global micronutrient deficiency in soils and industrialization, resulting in a shrinking of agricultural land worldwide.
