Through increased use of soil testing and plant analyses, micronutrient deficiencies have been verified in many soils. Some reasons limiting the incidental additions of micronutrients include:
·         High-yield crop demands remove micronutrients from the soil
·         Increased use of high-analysis NPK fertilizers containing lower quantities of micronutrient contaminants
·         Advances in fertilizer technology reduce the residual addition of micronutrients.

Zinc (Zn) is taken up by plants as the divalent Zn???² cation. It was one of the first micronutrients recognized as essential for plants and the one most commonly limiting yields. Although Zn is required only in small amounts, high yields are impossible without it.

Calcium holds the cell walls of plants together. It also activates specific plant enzymes, which send signals to the plant cells that coordinate certain growth activities. Participates in metabolic processes of other nutrients uptake. Helps in protecting the plant against heat stress. Affects fruit quality also.

Copper (Cu) activates enzymes and catalyzes reactions in several plant-growth processes. The presence of copper is closely linked to Vitamin A production, and it helps ensure successful protein synthesis.

Iron (Fe) is essential for crop growth and food production. Plants take up Fe as the ferrous (Fe²???) cation. Iron is a component of many enzymes associated with energy transfer, nitrogen reduction and fixation, and lignin formation.

magnesium's well-known roles is in the photosynthesis process, as it is a building block of the Chlorophyll. magnesium is required to give leaves their green color. Magnesium in plants is located in the enzymes. Magnesium is also used by plants for the metabolism of carbohydrates and in the cell membrane stabilization.

Manganese (Mn) functions primarily as part of enzyme systems in plants. It activates several important metabolic reactions and plays a direct role in photosynthesis. Manganese accelerates germination and maturity while increasing the availability of phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca).

Boron (B) exists primarily in soil solutions. One of the most important micronutrients affecting membrane stability, B supports the structural and functional integrity of plant cell membranes. Boron-deficiency symptoms first appear at the growing points, and certain soil types are more prone to boron deficiencies.
