Which of these is a micro nutrient for plants? A)Carbon B)Oxygen C)Nitrogen D)Boron
Option D) There are 7 essential plant nutrient elements defined as micro nutrients [boron (B), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), chlorine (Cl)]. A primary function of boron is related to cell wall formation, so boron-deficient plants may be stunted. Sugar transport in plants, flower retention and pollen formation and germination also are affected by boron. Seed and grain production are reduced with low boron supply.
