Micronutrients: A Current Status and its Symptoms on Crops
Micronutrients: A Current Status and its Symptoms on Crops
Rakesh Giri Goswami, Thaneshwar Kumar, Ashish Kumar Singh, Surbala Painkra
Micronutrients are essential for the normal growth of
plants. Deficiencies of micronutrient drastically affect the growth,
metabolism and reproductive phase in plants, animal and human beings.
Wide spread deficiencies of micronutrients has been found in Indian
soils. About 3 billion people in the world are affected with
micronutrient malnutrition. Crop plants requires 17 nutrient elements
viz. C, H, O, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, B, Mo, Cl and Ni for
completing their life cycle. Out of these last eight elements are
micronutrients that are needed in very less amount for crops but these
are equally important as that of macronutrients. Management of
micronutrients deficiencies in view of decline in production of major
crops is a cause of concern that requires immediate attention.
Production of adequate food grain from the finite land resources to feed
the burgeoning population is a great challenge in the years to come.
