Spatial variation of micronutrients in topsoil and subsoil of Vertic Haplustepts

摘要

Although required by plants in small quantities, micronutrients are crucial for crop production. Plants can complete life cycles, when adequate amount of micronutrients are supplied. Micronutrient deficiency (bioavailability) in soil is considerably important for yield, food quality and nutrient balance in human and animal nourishments. For the better management of agricultural production areas, determination of (micro) nutrient content of soils has a great importance.
