How can trace elements be converted?

Trace elements are the smallest elements in a plant's nutrition, however play a major role in the plant’s growth. These elements are given to the plant through a nutrient solution. One trace element contributes in its solid form, while the other does the same in its liquid form. This applies to molybdenum, copper, zinc, manganese, boron and iron. If you make use of both solid and liquid fertilizers, or if you desire to switch from solid to liquid, you will need to re-calculate your trace elements. In this article you will find practical tables for converting the trace elements molybdenum, copper, zinc, manganese and boron.
