Abstract
India rank second in Horticulture produce in the world after china. Produces large varieties of fruit crops like mango, banana, citrus, guava, grapes papaya, sapota, and pineapple. Micronutrients are essentially as important as macronutrients to have better growth, yield and quality in plants. The elements essential for plants are C, H, O, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Cu, B, Mn, Mo, Zn, Cl. Out of these 16 elements, 9 essential elements have been classified as “macronutrients” as these are required in relatively large amount by the plants. These elements include C, H, O, N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S. The necessity of micronutrients (iron, copper, zinc, boron, manganese, magnesium and molybdenum) is only in traces, which is partly met from the soil or through chemical fertilizer or through other sources. Proper plant nutrition is essential for successful production of fruit crops. Micronutrients are involved in all metabolic and cellular functions. Plants differ in their need for micronutrients. In this review, we focus on the major functions of mineral micronutrients in banana, mango and pomegranate fruit production.
Micronutrients play a crucial role in fruit production, with their importance varying by fruit type and their role in metabolic and cellular functions.
