Answer:

Micronutrients

  • Micronutrients form minor portion of dry weight of a plant.
  • They are required in minute quantities i.e., less than 10 m mole/kg of dry matter
  • Most of them act as activators for enzymes, e.g., Manganese, Zinc, Boron etc.
  • These are called trace elements.

Macronutrients

  • Macronutrients form major portion of dry weight of a plant.
  • They are required in relatively large quantities i.e., in excess of 10 mmole kg-1 of dry matter
  • They enter into the structure of macromolecules of the cell, e.g., Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen etc.
  • These are called major elements.
