One of the first #micronutrients recognized as essential for plants as one of the most common for limited yields. Required in small amounts, high yields ARE impossible w/o it. Deficiency of this nutrient in cotton is shown with a change in tissue color. #namethatnutrient AND GO!

It's time for Name That Nutrient! This micronutrient was added to the list of essential plant nutrients late in the 20th century. It is required in small amounts and is necessary for the conversion of urea to ammonia in plant tissue, making it important in plant N metabolism.

Maintaining enzyme systems in plants is the primary function of this micronutrient. It activates several important metabolic reactions and is directly involved in photosynthesis. This micronutrient is required in higher quantities by soybeans and wheat. Name that nutrient!

Name this micronutrient! If plants are deficient in this micronutrient, they will first show up in newly developed plant tissue. Deficiency will result in empty pollen grains, poor pollen vitality, and a reduced number of flowers per plant.

It’s time to Name that Nutrient! This macronutrient is an important component of energy transfer system (ADP and ATP) and is important to photosynthesis and respiration. It is also part of cell nuclear material important to cell division. #nutrientsmatter #CertifiedCropAdviser
