micronutrient-management

2 articles

Micronutrient management involves optimizing the availability and uptake of essential trace elements—such as zinc, iron, manganese, and boron—that plants require in small quantities for healthy growth. Even slight deficiencies or excesses of these nutrients can disrupt enzyme function, photosynthesis, and disease resistance, making precise management critical for crop yield and quality. Research in this area helps identify how plants absorb, transport, and utilize these elements, informing strategies to improve nutrient-use efficiency and resilience under varying soil conditions.
