What are Micronutrients?

Elements essential for plant growth which are needed only in very small (micro) quantities. Micronutrients include:

• Boron (B): Aids in production of sugar and carbohydrates, essential for germination of pollen grains and pollen tubes.
• Copper (Cu): Important for reproductive growth, catalyst for other plant reactions.
• Iron (Fe): Essential for formation of chlorophyll, carries oxygen, critical to photosynthesis.
• Manganese (Mn): Involved in breakdown of carbohydrates and nitrogen metabolism.
• Zinc (Zn): Essential for transformation of carbohydrates, regulates consumption of sugars.
