Agricultural Micronutrients The Importance of Micronutrients in Agriculture Agriculture is the backbone of many economies around the world. Improving crop yields and agricultural productivity helps in meeting the increasing food demand of a growing population. While macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium play a major role in plant growth, micronutrients are also equally important for healthy crop production. Micronutrients, also known as trace elements, are needed in very small amounts by plants but are essential for their growth and development. Maintaining optimal soil micronutrient levels is crucial for higher yields and better quality produce. What are Micronutrients? Micronutrients refer to mineral elements required by plants and crops in tiny amounts. Some of the major micronutrients needed by plants include boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. While the quantity required is low, micronutrient deficiencies can severely limit plant growth...

Seed Treatment  Seed treatment has become an important initial step in modern agriculture for ensuring crops establish properly and maximize yield potential. By protecting seeds from disease, insects and other threats early in the germination process, farmers can have more confidence their seeds will develop into healthy, productive plants. WHAT IS SEED TREATMENT? Seed Treatment involves applying plant protection products such as fungicides, insecticides and inoculants directly onto seeds before planting. This coats the exterior of seeds with precisely measured active ingredients that control or prevent diseases, insects or other issues during germination and the early seedling growth stages. Seed treatment works preventatively by protecting seeds as soon as they come in contact with soil, weeds or foliage where pathogens may be present. It ensures seeds have the best possible start for establishing healthy root and shoot systems. METHODS OF APPLICATION There are a few prima...
