• Difference between Micronutrients and Macronutrients

MacronutrientsMicronutrients
Macronutrients occur in large quantities in plants.Micronutrients occur in small quantities in plants
It is needed for making proteins and nucleic acid.It is needed for nitrogen fixation
These compounds are present in an excessive concentration in plants.Micronutrients are present in low concentrations in plants as compared to macronutrients.
