PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE USE OF MICROELEMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL CROPS

Abstract

Micronutrients are chemical elements that are necessary for the normal functioning of plants and animals and are used in small amounts by plants and animals in relation to the main components of nutrition. However, the biological role of micronutrients is great. All plants without exception need micronutrients to create enzyme systems - biocatalysts, including essential iron, manganese, zinc, barium, molybdenum, cobalt, and others. Micronutrients are called “elements of life” as if the life of plants and animals would be impossible without these elements. The lack of certain elements in the soil does not lead to plant death but is the cause of the decline. As a result of the speed and consistency of the processes responsible for the development of the organism, plants do not realize their potential and do not always produce high-quality products
