THE ROLE OF TRACE ELEMENTS

First,What are trace elements?

Trace elements, as the name implies, refer to elements with low content in nature. Although for crops, trace elements only need to be calculated in ppm (parts per million), the lack of trace elements has a great influence on the growth and development of crops.

Second, the importance of trace elements to crops

1. Iron deficiency will lead to yellowing of leaves, affect the iron metabolism of plants and reduce the photosynthetic efficiency of plants.

2. Manganese deficiency will lead to aging spots and yellowing, reduce the number of pollen and the development of flower organs.

3. Zinc deficiency will affect the growth and development of plants and the formation of flowers and fruits. 4. Boron deficiency will lead to fragile cell wall and unhealthy pollen tube development, which is not conducive to implantation and root growth.

5. Molybdenum deficiency will affect physiological functions such as nitrogen metabolism and protein production in plants.

Third, the application of trace elements

Third, the application of trace elements

Although trace elements are only the trace demand of plants for elements, the lack of any trace elements will lead to the defects of crop growth, improve the susceptibility to diseases and insect pests, and reduce the yield and quality of crops. Therefore, in agricultural production, it is very important to replenish trace elements needed by plants in time, promote crop growth and development, and improve yield and quality.

Trace elements are very important to the growth and health of crops. In agricultural production, by supplementing the missing trace elements in time, the yield and quality of crops can be improved, the susceptibility to diseases and insect pests can be reduced, and the pollution to the environment can be reduced. Therefore, we should fully understand the role and importance of trace elements, try our best to meet the needs of plants and ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production.
