What is the term for the elements like copper, chlorine, and boron that are required by trees in large amounts?

  1. Injections

  2. Macronutrient

  3. Infiltration Rate

  4. Water Holding Capacity

The correct answer is: Macronutrient

Macronutrient is the term for elements required by trees in large amounts, such as copper, chlorine, and boron. Option A, injections, is incorrect because while it may be a method used to provide nutrients to trees, it is not the term for the actual nutrients themselves. Option C, infiltration rate, is unrelated to the nutrients needed by trees. Option D, water holding capacity, is also unrelated to the question as it refers to the amount of water soil can hold.
