Micronutrients are essential trace elements required by plants in very small quantities (mg/kg dry matter). They are critical for normal plant growth, development, and reproduction. Find out more about micronutrients here.
Key points:
- Micronutrients are essentially trace elements required by plants in small quantities.
- Only boron, chloride, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and zinc are considered essential for crop growth.
- Only apply micronutrients when there is evidence of a deficiency or clearly identified production constraint.
