Micronutrients and macronutrients are useful elements for plant growth and development. When these are made unavailable to the plant, the soil health gets deteriorated and toxicity levels increase in the soil, as a result the plant withers and dies. Macro and Micronutrients deficiency are verified by various soil and plant analysis. The deficiencies of various micro and macronutrients are increasing due to high crop yields, which cause an increase in the nutrient uptake demand for the fruit crops. These nutrients are used for the enhancement in plant growth and development. When Macronutrients are applied to the soil, it increases the fertility, fixes nitrogen bacteria in the root nodules and enhances the growth of the plant, increase the vegetation and fruit development. When Micronutrients are applied to the foliage of the plant, various essential nutrients are absorbed which increase the mobility of the nutrients in the foliage. These nutrients are essential as they maintain the stability and the production in plants. In this review the classification and types of nutrients , how nutrients are transported, the types of nutrient deficiency symptoms, when there is a deficiency of nutrients, what are the remedies used and the role of micronutrients in fruit crops have been discussed.
