Choose the micronutrient needed for plant growth

  • A.Oxygen
  • B.Hydrogen
  • C.Nitrogen
  • D.Zinc

Answer: D

The micronutrient is zinc.

Micronutrients are essential elements needed by plants in very small amounts, typically less than 10 mg per kg of dry matter: iron, manganese, copper, molybdenum, zinc, boron, chlorine and nickel. Zinc is needed for enzymes and for making the growth hormone auxin; its deficiency causes 'khaira' disease of rice.

Oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen are macronutrients, required in large amounts; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen form the bulk of plant tissue.
