ROLE IN PLANT NUTRITION

Iron

Plays an important role in formation of the chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for the absorption of solar radiation, powering the photosynthetic process.

 

Manganese

Takes part in protein synthesis and activates enzymatic processes.

 

Boron

Favourites nucleic acids synthesis 

and helps the plant in metabolising carbohydrates.

 

Molybdenum

Favourites nitrogen and iron metabolism 

and takes part in chlorophyll synthesis.

 

Copper

Takes part in formation of lignin, 

contained in cell walls. Involved in many enzyme processes. Necessary for 

a proper photosynthesis development.

 

Zinc

 Necessary for metabolism auxin, a plant hormone that favourites cells growth through cell stretching and fruit development. Necessary 

for the synthesis of nucleic acids.
