you are absolutely rite doing nothing sometimes is better I have done this with great success. I am glad to hear that you are using the rotating crop method I did not put into consideration the agro testing involved these years in my first post but not everyone is doing this or lucky enough to have large plots of land, and I am sure you have never had you plants shown signs of lack in any of the elements because they are in the ground you use outside but what about hydroponics in witch is where I started with this post also as for the
quote " alot of the trace elements that you mention are used in such infintesimal amounts as to be almost neglegible in actual results.
Do micro nutrients make a difference?"
the problem I have with this is if the amount of elements was a factor then I guess we can just get rid of vanadium beings tho it is the least used element in the world ( in Amount not use), rite.? But wait without vanadium we would not have fuel for cars of anykind we would not have steel or algae some scientist believe even mammals would not have been formed without this so called useless element in its "Infintesimal amount" the world we know would not exist nor would you, so how could it possibly be any different in plants just because it is so small and so little it is hardly worth mentioning does not mean it is not one of the most important or at the least much needed
If I am wrong please correct me tis why I am here
I'm talking about growing plants not making fuel. I have never seen a plant with a documented Vanadium deficiency. My point is there are three basic elements that plants need for growth. Do they utilize micro nutrients yes. But inmost peoples grows micronutrient availabity is not the limiting factor. They make other more serious errors that imoact their results. In the whole sceme of things Micro nutrients aren't a factor. In hydroponics the biggest concern is water temp, ph level, disolved oxygen levels and again nutrient availabilty .
