The Micronutrients (pdf)

Soil Fertility Manual Chapter 7

Stewart, Mike

Eight of the essential plant nutrients are called micronutrients. While micronutrients are not miracle workers, deficiencies can cause serious consequences in crops if not prevented or corrected. Soil pH and relative amounts of micronutrients in soils are important factors in the availability of micronutrients. Included in this chapter are sections describing the functions, sources, deficiency symptoms, possible toxicities, and management considerations for the micronutrients: boron (B), chloride (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn).
