Listen in as Stephanie Zelinko, AgroLiquid Sales Agronomist, talks about the importance of micronutrients and their interactions with macronutrients.

So far in the Back 2 Basics video series, we have explored the primary, secondary and micronutrients that are most critical to plant health. But there are some other nutrients that, while still important, aren't as commonly discussed in conversations about crop fertility.

Boron aids in transporting sugars and hormones within the plant and is especially involved in seed and cell wall formation. While this micronutrient is vital in the production of crop yields, it is needed in very small amounts and requires careful management. In this week's Back 2 Basics video, B...

This week we're taking a closer look at copper. This nutrient is needed for plants to produce chlorophyll, as well as for reproduction, and it can help the plant fend off disease. Join Brian and Stephanie in the latest Back 2 Basics video about copper.

Iron is another micronutrient that is vital to plant health and development. Soil availability of iron is dependent on several factors, including pH and iron's proportion in relation to other nutrients.

Manganese is one of the most important micronutrients and plays numerous roles within plants. Sometimes referred to as 'The Nutrient of Life,' manganese is essential for photosynthesis, the development of reproductive structures, disease resistance and much more. In this week's Back 2 Basics vide...

Zinc is one of the most essential micronutrients and it plays a key role in plant growth and reproduction. Having enough zinc available in the soil, while staying in proper proportion to primary nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus is critical in producing a healthy and successful crop. Join St...

Nitrogen is one of the primary plant nutrients and is responsible for a significant portion of crop yield potential. Therefore, it is vital to have ample nitrogen available to crops throughout their growth and development. Because of how it cycles through various forms, nitrogen can sometimes be ...

Phosphorus is one of the primary plant nutrients, playing several important roles in raising a successful crop. In order to perform these roles effectively, it is critical to keep phosphorus in balance with other soil nutrients

Sulfur is the most important secondary nutrient - in fact, it is often considered the fourth macronutrient. Sulfur plays multiple roles for your crop - from helping keep the soil in balance to improving plant health. Careful management of this nutrient is critical to reaching a crop's potential. ...
