Micronutrients

Micronutrients

Boron (B): Helps in the use of nutrients and regulates other nutrients such as Calcium

Chloride (Cl): While often considered to be a soil contaminate (and at high levels this is true) chloride is needed by plants

Copper (Cu): Most common cause for a deficiency is pH imbalance and not a lack of copper in media

Iron (Fe): Leaves will yellow if deficiency, but it will typically be the upper leaves and not the lower ones like a nitrogen or magnesium deficiency.

Manganese (Mn): Functions with enzyme systems involved in breakdown of carbohydrates, nitrogen metabolism and photosynthesis.

Molybdenum (Mo): Needed in such small amounts it is very unlikely to be a case of deficiency in most cases.

Zinc (Zn): Since it is not very mobile you are likely to find symptoms first show up in newer growth
