The foot of the same laboratory report lists ve elements against which the status of each block has been printed, and describes the list as the micronutrient status of the sample. The eld o cer, reading the report before he frames the fertiliser schedule for the reclaimed blocks, notices that one of the ve elements in that list does not belong there at all, being required by the crop in quantities measured in tens of kilograms to the hectare rather than in a few hundred grams, and being a primary nutrient of the standard classi cation. He has to strike that element out of the micronutrient list and carry it instead to the major nutrient section of the schedule, where it will be provided for through urea in three splits rather than through a foliar spray. The element in the list that is not a micronutrient is

1. AZinc
2. BManganese
3. CMolybdenum
4. DNitrogenCorrect
5. EBoron
