Abstract:
Pulses crops require the micronutrients boron and zinc in order to flourish. Zinc is required for enzyme activation, photosynthesis, and protein synthesis, while boron is important for cell wall formation, cell division, and sugar transport. Seed germination, root growth, plant growth, yield, and quality of pulses crops are all improved by an adequate and well-balanced application of boron and zinc. Reduced crop establishment, growth, production, and quality may result from insufficient amounts of certain micronutrients. Therefore, it is essential for sustainable agriculture and food security to gain insight into the function of boron and zinc in the cultivation of pulses crops.
