Trace element fertilizers, commonly known as micro-fertilizers, include essential elements such as iron, zinc, molybdenum, manganese, copper, and boron. These elements are vital for crop growth, quality improvement, and yield enhancement. However, the relationship between different micro-fertilizers and crops is complex and varies depending on the type of crop and soil conditions. Improper application can lead to inefficiency or even harm to the plants. To maximize benefits and avoid risks, it's crucial to follow the "three systems" and "two attentions" when applying trace element fertilizers.
First, it’s important to tailor the use of micro-fertilizers according to soil fertility. In general, calcareous soils in northern regions tend to have low availability of iron, zinc, manganese, copper, and boron, making them prone to deficiency. On the other hand, acidic soils in the south often show poor molybdenum availability. Therefore, the application should be based on the actual status of trace elements in the soil, ensuring targeted and reasonable use.
Second, different crops have varying responses to trace elements. Some crops are more sensitive to certain nutrients than others. For example, corn responds well to zinc, while rapeseed is highly sensitive to boron. Grass crops require adequate manganese, and legumes benefit from both molybdenum and boron. Thus, it's essential to choose the right type of micro-fertilizer for each specific crop.
Third, soil conditions significantly influence the availability of trace elements. Factors like soil pH, texture, moisture, and redox potential play a major role in determining how effectively these elements are absorbed by plants. Acidic soils, for instance, may limit nutrient uptake, so adjusting soil pH through organic matter or lime application can improve nutrient availability.
In addition, the method of application is critical. Since only small amounts of trace elements are needed, over-application can be harmful. It's important to apply them precisely, focusing on key areas like leaves and stems, and ensure even coverage on both sides of the foliage. When used as base fertilizers, micronutrients can also be mixed evenly with organic materials to enhance their effectiveness.
Finally, attention should be given to the overall nutrient balance. Research shows that the application of trace elements alone may not yield significant results unless the plant has sufficient access to macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Therefore, it's necessary to combine micro-fertilizers with balanced macronutrient applications to create a favorable soil environment, ensure nutrient availability, and achieve optimal crop performance and quality.
