The useful mineral nutrients for plants is NITRATES and PHOSPHATES.
macronutrients= nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Micronutrients= boron, iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper.
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.
It was Canada's idea to invest in micronutrients for the third world countries.
Soil texture affects the availability of micronutrients by influencing factors such as water retention, aeration, and the soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC). Sandy soils, with larger particles, drain quickly and may lead to leaching of micronutrients, while clay soils, with smaller particles, have higher CEC and can retain more nutrients. Additionally, finer-textured soils often have a greater surface area for nutrient adsorption, enhancing the availability of micronutrients to plants. Overall, the balance between soil texture and nutrient retention plays a critical role in nutrient availability for crops.
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.
The three micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, and water.

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 in the carbon cycle refer to essential trace elements, such as iron, zinc, and manganese, that play crucial roles in the processes of photosynthesis and respiration among plants and microorganisms. Although required in smaller quantities compared to macronutrients, these micronutrients are vital for enzyme function and overall metabolic processes that facilitate carbon fixation and its subsequent release back into the atmosphere. Their availability can influence ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration capabilities. In this way, micronutrients indirectly affect the dynamics of the carbon cycle and ecosystem health.
Micronutrients are needed for the proper functioning of every system in the body and are vital for good health.
