Chlorine (Cl), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni)

Chlorine, Molybdenum, and Nickel are usually not of concern, so will not be discussed further than the following table.

Table 1. Uptake form, function and mobility of soil-derived minor micronutrients in plants*

Nutrient	Uptake Form	Function	Mobility
Chlorine	Cl⁻	Photosynthesis	Mobile
Molybdenum	MoO₄²⁻	Utilizes nitrogen; nitrogen fixation in legumes	Not mobile
Nickel	Ni⁺	Iron metabolism	Mobile
