Boron |
Involved in formation of cell walls,
terminal buds and pollen tubes. Participates in regulation of starch production and translocation of sugars and starches. |
| Calcium |
Involved in formation of cell walls and root and leaf
development. Participates in translocation of sugars. |
| Copper |
Involved in photosynthetic and respiration
systems. Assists chlorophyll synthesis and used as reaction catalyst. |
| Iron |
Involved in respiration and chlorophyll synthesis. |
| Magnesium |
Involved in photosynthetic and respiration
system. Active in uptake of phosphate and translocation of phosphate
and starches. |
| Manganese |
Involved in regulation of enzymes and growth hormones.
Assists in photosynthesis and respiration. |
| Molybdenum |
Involved in enzymatic reduction of
nitrates to ammonia. Assists in conversion of inorganic phosphate
to organic form. |
| Sulfur |
Involved in formation of nodules and chlorophyll synthesis,
structural component of amino acids and enzymes. |
| Zinc |
Involved in production of growth
hormones and chlorophyll. Active in respiration and carbohydrate
synthesis. |
| Boron |
Improves quality and disease resistance.
Involved in seed, flower and fruit formation. |
| Calcium |
Improves fruit and nut formation. Involved in uptake
of other nutrients. Improves postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables.
Aids in the control of certain fungal and bacterial diseases. |
| Copper |
Improves nitrogen utilization. Involved
in protein formation and root metabolism. |
| Iron |
Improves plant appearance. Required for vigorous growth. |
| Magnesium |
Improves seed production and formation
of seed oil and fat. Involved in uptake of other nutrients. |
| Manganese |
Improves germination and hastens maturity. Involved
in uptake of carbon, magnesium and phosphorous. Manganese is key
on resistance development to both root and foliar diseases caused
by fungi. |
| Molybdenum |
Improves nodule formation and fixation
of nitrogen. Assists protein formation. Required for the synthesis
and activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase (reduces nitrates to
ammonium in the plant.) |
| Sulfur |
Improves cold resistance and disease resistance. Assists
decomposition of crop residue. Involved in protein formation and
uptake of other nutrients. |
| Zinc |
Improves plant appearance, seed production
and absorption of water. Involved in protein and carbohydrate formation. |
