Minor element contamination and possible solutions

In this article the problems due to the excess of the essential micronutrients Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ni, B, Mo and Cl are analyzed, as well as those caused by other non essential elements such as cadmium, lead, chromium, arsenic and selenium. The factors that affect the solubility of these elements as redox reactions, soil reaction, organic complexes, precipitation reactions, superficial adsorption and biological reactions are considered. The visual symptoms, foliar and soil analysis are examined as tools to diagnose the micronutrients toxicity. Finally, reference is made of the possible solutions for contamination and toxicity of microelements for both preventive and recuperation management.
