About Micronutrient Analysis Laboratory
Micronutrients are important for maintaining soil health and also increasing productivity of crops (Rattan et al., 2009). Deficiency of micronutrients during the last three decades has grown in both, magnitude and extent. This has become a major constraint to production and productivity of rice, wheat and pulses. Plants grow in micronutrient deficient soils exhibit similar reductions in productivity as those grown in macronutrient deficient soils. The available micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) are analyzed in Micronutrient Analysis Laboratory.
