Micronutrients are essential nutrients required in small proportions for the proper growth of plants. Even though they are required in much smaller amounts than macronutrients, deficiency of micronutrients can lead to stunted growth and diseases/conditions such as yellowing leaves, gummosis, and necrosis. As many of the crucial micronutrients needed for plants are either deficient or are not proportionately spread in soils around the world, supplements of the necessary micronutrients are commonly added.
