Agricultural micronutrients are the fundamental inputs of micronutrients to the agricultural soil/land to make it more productive. Boron, Chloride, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel and Zinc are referred to as agricultural micronutrients. Agricultural micronutrients control the physiological activities in crops and give productive output. These nutrients are very essential for normal growth and optimum yield of the crops. Their deficiency can lead to stressed growth and may shows symptoms similar to salinity or drought.
Chelated micronutrients are those inorganic nutrients that are enclosed by an organic molecule, which prevents their interaction with ions in alkaline soil, thus making them available to plants. They are useful for alkaline soils and foliar applications. When applied as a foliar spray, chelated micronutrients can easily penetrate a leaf's waxy coating; enter into the plant tissue to restore any deficiencies. Contrary to that, non-chelated micronutrients take a long time to compensate for the persisting deficiencies. The chelated micronutrients are expensive, but they are very effective and hence they are in huge demand.
Global agricultural micronutrients market can be segmented based on types of micronutrients used for agriculture. These micronutrients are Zinc, Copper, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, and others including Nickel, Chloride, and Cobalt. Based on crop types, or the crops on which agricultural micronutrients are applied, there can be micronutrients for cereals & grains, fruits and vegetables, oilseeds and pulses or they can be used in floriculture/plantation. Based on forms, agricultural micronutrients can be classified as chelated or non-chelated micronutrients. Agricultural micronutrients find applications in soil, fertigation, foliar, seed treatment and hydroponics.
Depleting concentration of agricultural micronutrients in the soil is one of the major driving forces for the global agricultural micronutrients market. Moreover, land shrinkage and increasing food demand due to increasing population is forcing the farmers to increase the per capita yield, thus fuelling the agricultural micronutrients market.
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific are the leaders in the global agricultural micronutrients market. Asia Pacific is expected to be the major market for agricultural micronutrients, especially for Molybdenum.
