    In agriculture, the exceptional significance of micronutrient is unavoidable, as plant relies primarily on micronutrient. Although required in small amounts of micronutrients, viz., B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, they have a prominent role to play in improving yield potentials under stressed conditions. There is a large number of elements in nature out of which 16 are important for the proper growth and development of crop plants. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash, Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur are called macro- or major nutrients and required in comparatively large amounts. Iron, Copper, Zinc, Boron, Molybdenum, Manganese, and Chloride are the micro- or minor nutrients required in smaller quantities for the vegetative and reproductive growth of crop plants. C, H, and O contribute 85-90% of the total plant content. N gives dark green color to crop plants and it increases the vegetative growth of crop plants. It is most important for the preparation of starch in leaves and the production of amino acids. P is the constituent of certain nucleic acids, phosphatides, chromosomes, and co-enzymes. P works as a catalyst in about 60 enzymatic systems of the plants and regulates the water in plants and reduces the negative effects of salts in the plants. Ca is the important constituent of the plant cell wall and it promotes early root growth and development. In consideration of the important role micronutrients have in promoting and maintaining human health, more research is needed to determine the advantages of using the optimum level of micronutrients instead of their critical level as an indicator with regard to yield, quality, and enrichment objectives for the future. � The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
