  1. Micronutrients The Activators

  2. Iron- Fe • Common Uses – Train tracks, cars, and robots. • Helps with chlorophyll formation and energy transfer. • 10,000-200,000 lbs. Per Acre.

  3. Iron - Fe • Iron deficiency can cause the leaves of a plant to have a yellow tint, and can cause a lower yield in the fruit and the grain of a plant. • When a person eats a plant that has the correct amount of Iron, it helps the blood/oxygen level in that persons bloodstream.

  4. Copper - Cu • Common Uses - Electrical wiring, used in making brass • Helps with enzyme systems, and protein synthesis. • 2- 400 lbs. Per Acre

  5. Copper - Cu • In a plant, copper is necessary for carbohydrate metabolism. • Copper can also affects enzyme systems, protein synthesis, and seed formation in plants. • Copper is also required in plants for lignin synthesis.

  6. Boron - B • Common Uses – Eye wash, baking dishes, detergent, soaps, and rocket fuel. • Helps with cell division and sugar/starch balance. • Important to Peanuts and root crops • 20-200 lbs. Per Acre

  7. Boron - B • Boron helps with sugar and starch translocation, pollination and seed production, and protein formation.

  8. Chlorine - Cl • Common Uses – Table salt, water purification. • Helps with crop maturity and disease control • 10-200 lbs. Per Acre

  9. Chlorine - Cl • Chlorine indirectly affect plant growth. • Chlorine deficiency can cause a plants root systems to become wilted and restricted. • Chlorine also helps with disease control and crop maturity and plants.

  10. Molybdenum - Mo • Common Uses – Dyes for leather, ceramic glazes, printing ink, X - Ray tubes, and light bulbs. • Helps with N metabolism and legume N fixation. • 1-7 lbs. Per Acre

  11. Molybdenum - Mo • Molybdenum helps with protein synthesis and enzyme systems. • Molybdenum deficiency can affect fruit and grain formation.

  12. Manganese - Mn • Common Uses – Batteries and to give harness and elasticity to steel. • Helps with photosynthesis and Nitrate assimilation. • 100-10,000 lbs. Per Acre.

  13. Manganese - Mn • In plants, Manganese affects enzyme systems , Iron metabolism, and chlorophyll formation. • Manganese is prominent in the following plants: cotton, lettuce, onions, sweet potatoes , and soybeans.

  14. Zinc - Zn Common Uses – Coating to galvanize iron and steel, making brass, paint, fireproofing, ointments for skin irritations, treatment of trauma injuries. Helps with growth hormones and root development. Important to corn production 20-600 lbs. Per Acre

  15. Zinc - Zn • In plants, zinc affects grain formation, enzyme systems, and starch formation, and protein synthesis as well. • Zinc can be found in large proportions in plants such as corn, grain sorghum, onions, pecan, Irish potatoes, soybean, rice, and cocoa.

  22. 3. A provides basic information on the nutrient supplying capacity of the soil. Soil Test • What kind of deficiencies result in lower fruit yields and lower quality. Iron

  23. When sampling a crop field, how deep should you test? six inches • How deep should you test on grass? two inches • Soil samples can be taken in the or the for established sights. Spring; fall
