Molybdenum

StarStarStarStar

It's crucial for enzyme systems involved in nitrogen fixation and assimilation.

StarStarStarStar

Manganese

StarStarStarStar

Plays a role in chlorophyll production, enzymatic reactions, and nitrogen assimilation.

StarStarStarStar

Cobalt

StarStarStarStar

Essential for nitrogen fixation in legumes and involved in various enzyme reactions.

StarStarStarStar

Boron

StarStarStarStar

Required for cell wall formation and stability, and is involved in cell division and protein synthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Chlorine

StarStarStarStar

Involved in osmosis, the ionic balance necessary for photosynthesis and cell division.

StarStarStarStar

Sodium

StarStarStarStar

Beneficial for some plants, particularly C4 and CAM plants for osmoregulation and metabolic processes.

StarStarStarStar

Phosphorus

StarStarStarStar

Important for energy transfer as it is a part of ATP; critical for root development.

StarStarStarStar

Copper

StarStarStarStar

Functions as an enzyme cofactor and is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Potassium

StarStarStarStar

Regulates osmotic balance, activates enzymes, and is important for resistance to drought and disease.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen

StarStarStarStar

Essential for protein synthesis and chlorophyll formation. Promotes leafy growth.

StarStarStarStar

Selenium

StarStarStarStar

Can play a role in anti-oxidant defense and may protect against environmental stress and predators.

StarStarStarStar

Magnesium

StarStarStarStar

Central component of chlorophyll molecule and is crucial for photosynthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Silicon

StarStarStarStar

Strengthens cell walls, enhancing plant strength and resistance to pests and diseases.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfur

StarStarStarStar

Integral for amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and vitamins. It also helps in chlorophyll formation.

StarStarStarStar

Nickel

StarStarStarStar

Required for iron absorption, enzymatic activity, and nitrogen metabolism.

StarStarStarStar

Calcium

StarStarStarStar

Important for cell wall structure, cell division, and signalling.

StarStarStarStar

Cadmium

StarStarStarStar

Non-essential and can be highly toxic, leading to reduced growth and impaired photosynthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Iron

StarStarStarStar

Essential for the formation of chlorophyll and is necessary for many enzyme functions.

StarStarStarStar

Zinc

StarStarStarStar

Important for enzyme systems that regulate early growth stages and the synthesis of plant hormones.

StarStarStarStar

Aluminum

StarStarStarStar

Not essential and can be toxic at high levels, affecting root growth and nutrient uptake.
