To explain why some micronutrient fertilisers perform better than others in specific soil types and to predict which is the best form of fertiliser to be used in a specific soil type.
Fluid forms of Cu, Mn and Zn, when supplied with fluid P, are more mobile in the soil compared to granular fertiliser.
