Identify the set of micronutrients (nutrients required by plants in small quantities) :

  • A.Potassium, Magnesium, Copper
  • B.Copper, Phosphorous, Calcium
  • C.Sulphur, Aluminium, Chlorine
  • D.Zinc, Iron, Manganese

Answer: D

The micronutrients are Zinc, Iron, Manganese.

Plants need micronutrients in very small amounts; the usual list is iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, chlorine and nickel. Zinc, iron and manganese are all on it.

The other sets each contain a macronutrient: potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and sulphur are needed in large quantities. Aluminium is not an essential plant nutrient at all, so the set with sulphur and aluminium fails twice.
