Micronutrient Constraints to Crop Production in the Middle East–West Asia Region: Significance, Research, and Management

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In addition to nine major nutrients, eight micronutrients [i.e., boron (B), chlorine (Cl), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn)] are also essential for healthy growth and reproduction of higher plants. Globally, crop production is largely dependent on chemical fertilizer use, especially in developed countries. While fertilizer use, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosph...
