The useful mineral nutrients for plants is NITRATES and PHOSPHATES.
They don't need to but they will appear more healthier and more fuller! I recommend spray and grow from HSN. Plants do ok without micronutrients but if you apply twice a month during spring and summer they will look more green and more health looking.
macronutrients= nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Micronutrients= boron, iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper.
No, or not in any significant amount. Micronutrients is not about getting energy, but about getting certain substances, mainly minerals, that you need in small quantities.
Micronutrients.
Plants need a whole range of mineral nutrients to survive and thrive. They can be split into two main categories, the macronutrients and the micronutrients. The macronutrients are the ones that the plant needs in quite large quantities and the micronutrients are the ones that they need in smaller measurements. The macronutrients are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Sulfur. The first three of which are largely lacking from natural soil and are usually added with fertilizers. The micronutrients are Boron, Copper, Iron, Chloride, Manganese, Molybdenum and Zinc. However, the main two nutrients that are required for plants to live are Nitrogen and Potassium.

The three micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and water.
Plants need 16 elements for normal growth. Three are found in air and water. They are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Six are found in soil – nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and sulfur. They are used in relatively large amounts by plants and are called macronutrients. Seven other elements, known as micronutrients or trace elements, are used in much smaller amounts. These essential micronutrients are found in soil and include iron, zinc, molybdenum, boron, copper, manganese and chlorine.
No. Micronutrients are things you need only in tiny amounts (like cobalt or cyanide) , and have no role in energy production EXCEPT that some are needed to allow that energy to be produced at all.
Micronutrients are actually abundant in our soils except those which are alkaline and calcareous.The total use of micronutrients in our country is 2-3%.From this you can assess hoe rich our soils are in these nutrients.Alkaline soils restrict the solubility and thus the availability of nutrients to the plants as the nutrients are converted to organic forms again;for instance zinc changes to Zn(OH)2 or ZnO2.
micronutrients regulate the body process?
Micronutrients are needed for the proper functioning of every system in the body and are vital for good health.
