Which one of the following is not a microelement for plants?

Which one of the following is not a microelement for plants?

Options

  1. ACu\mathrm{Cu}
  2. BB
  3. CZn\mathrm{Zn}
  4. DCr\mathrm{Cr}

Correct answer

D. Cr\mathrm{Cr}

Step-by-step solution

Plants require many organic and inorganic nutrients to complete their life-cycle. It has been established that some elements are required by plants in relatively large amount and are called major elements or macronutrients, e.g., C,H,O\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{H}, \mathrm{O}, N,S,P,K,Ca\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{S}, \mathrm{P}, \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{Ca} and Mg\mathrm{Mg}. Microelements or minor elements or trace elements are required by plants in very small amount, less than 1 ppm. E.g., Fe, Cu, B, Zn, Mn, Mo, Cl. Thus Cr\mathrm{Cr} is not a microelement.
