Abstract

The importance of micronutrients to plant growth is comparable to that of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, even though they are required at much lower concentrations. They are necessary for the process of cell division, the development of meristematic tissue, photosynthesis, respiration, the transfer of energy and nucleotides, and the overall growth of plants. Although plants only require very modest levels of micronutrients for optimal growth and productivity, the absence of these nutrients disrupts a wide variety of physiological and metabolic processes. It is necessary for plants to receive specific amounts of micronutrients in specific forms at specific times in order for them to grow and develop to their full potential. Lack of micronutrients in the soil significantly reduces soybean production. This article evaluates and summaries information on micronutrient utilization in soybeans at global level. We discussed micronutrient deficiency symptoms and their impact on soybean yields. Micronutrient application methods and dosages are also considered. This study compiled information on micronutrient use in soybean to better understand its impact on fertility, soil health, and grain yield.
