Micronutrients zinc, iron, manganese, boron, chlorine, copper, and molybdenum are very important for optimum growth and yield of plant. This review will be discussing the function of each micronutrient, the effect of deficiency and toxicity of each of the micronutrient on plants, the optimum concentration of micronutrients required by plants, the method of application of micronutrients, micronutrients economics and recommended application rates and the characteristics of soil that affects the availability and uptake of micronutrients by plants. The objectives of this review are to identify micronutrients required by plants and to evaluate the performance of micronutrients required by plants.
