Importance of micro minerals

Agriculture is going through a profound revolution worldwide due to increasing world demand for food, higher costs of energy and other inputs, environmental pollution problems, and instability of cropping systems. The importance of plant functioning can be realized from the facts that knowledge of mineral nutrition of plants has opened new vistas for fertilizer practices. The detection of deficiencies and toxicity of particular mineral nutrient element has enabled us to make adequate soil amendments and root nutrient absorption for better plant growth.

Foliar fertilization is nutrition through leaves, is a very efficient technique of supplementary fertilization. Foliar nutrition is very important because foliar nutrients facilitate easy and quick consumption of nutrients by penetrating the stomata or leaf cuticle and enters the cells. Foliar fertilization is used as a means of supplying supplemental doses of macro and micro-nutrients, plant hormones, stimulants, and other beneficial substances. It is determined that during crop growth supplementary foliar fertilization increase plants mineral status and improve crop yields.

An understanding of soil microorganisms as part of soil system and interactions between the diversity of producers and of decomposers, have major consequences on the functioning of agricultural ecosystems. Soil microorganisms control the transformation and mineralization of natural compounds and xenobiotics. The soil micro biota, existing in high density and diversity, rapidly modify the energetic performance and activity rates to changing environmental conditions.

Low level of these micro minerals in the ration may affect embryonic development, post-partum recovery and over all fertility in the female animals and in male animals it may change spermatogenesis and reduce libido. Most of the unconventional feeds are deficient in micro minerals and are likely to accentuate reproductive problems.

Iron is an essential micro-mineral in human nutrition. It is a mineral found in every cell of the body and required to make part of blood cell. It participates as a catalyst in several metabolic reactions. As a component of haemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome and other proteins, iron plays an important role in the transport, storage and utilization of oxygen and cellular proliferation. In this study, an attempt was made to prepare dahi by using 1% starter culture, fortified with iron by using ferrous lactate @ 40 mg/kg milk.

The diverse agro climatic zones of the state offer the advantage of growing different fruits. However, Red Delicious gave impetus to commercial apple production in the valley. Apple tree like other plants needs different nutrients in varying quantities to achieve proper growth and fruiting. Besides major elements, macro and micro nutrients are also required in small quantities that assume critical importance when deficient as these are taken up by the plant and need to be replenished. In many cases the quality of harvest produce is determined by the content of the mineral nutrients.
