- Iron (Fe) is the most commonly deficient micronutrient â causes yellowing of new growth (chlorosis)
- Iron must be in chelated form (EDTA, DTPA, EDDHA) to remain soluble at higher pH
- Manganese and Zinc are required for enzyme function and photosynthesis
- Boron is critical for cell wall formation and pollen viability
- Molybdenum is needed for nitrogen metabolism â deficiency causes cupped or twisted leaves
- Micronutrient deficiencies often appear when pH is outside the 5.5â6.5 optimal range
