Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants, playing a vital role in various physiological processes, growth, and development. Although plants require copper in small amounts, it is indispensable for several critical functions within plants. Copper serves as a cofactor for various enzymes involved in critical metabolic processes. Here’s a detailed overview of the roles […]

Copper (Cu) is a micronutrient which is only needed in trace amounts, but is involved in several key plant actions, including photosynthesis, nitrogen utilization, protein production and water regulation. Copper deficiency is becoming more widespread across Western Canada, limiting a crop’s growth and reducing yield potential. In this post we will examine the role of […]

Well-balanced nutrition plays a key role in crop growth and development. There are many micronutrients essential for plant growth including boron, calcium, copper, manganese and zinc. However, deficiencies, biotic and abiotic factors can inhibit a crop’s ability to take in the nutrients it needs. For example, high pH soils, high organic matter soils or light […]
