What is toxicity of micronutrient.Givean example

Dear student,
Toxicity of Micronutrients is defined as Increase in concentration of micronutrients which leads to toxicity.
Any mineral ion concentration that reduces the dry weight of tissues by 10% is considered toxic.
Toxicity of one element may lead to deficiency of other elements since the former may inhibit the uptake of latter.
For example → Mn competes with Fe, Mg for uptake and also inhibits Ca translocation to shoot apex. Therefore, Mn toxicity symptoms are actually same as deficiency symptoms of Fe, Mg, and Ca
