For example, acidic soils tend to have more available iron and manganese, while alkaline soils favor the availability of molybdenum.

Specific deficiencies include iron chlorosis, boron-related brittle and deformed leaves, and manganese interveinal chlorosis.

Micronutrients, including iron, manganese, zinc, and copper, are needed in much smaller amounts but are equally vital for enzyme functions, hormone regulation, and overall plant health.
