In plants, it plays a role in virtually all biochemical processes that involve energy transfer.  It is a constituent of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is often termed as ‘energy currency’ of the plant cell. In plant, P is essential for photosynthesis, respiration and root growth, flowering, fruiting, seed setting and seed yield. The total P content in agricultural crops ranges from 0.1 to 0.5%.

भारत की मृदा व फसलों में बोरोन तथा मोलिब्डेनम की कमी और उर्वरकों के प्रयोग सेे उनमे सुुुुधार   Plants require eight micronutrients for their growth and development. Out of them, Boron (B) and Molybdenum (Mo) are anionic micronutrients found to be deficient in Indian soils and crops. The essentiality of the B and Mo for higher plants was first established by K. Warington in 1923 and by D. I. Arnon and P. R. Stout in 1939 respectively. The information regarding deficiency of B and Mo in soils in India, their role in plant growth and deficiency symptoms and fertilizers containing B and Mo for amelioration is being provided for the benefit...
