Unless you have a particular deficiency then I'd say most micronutrients (and biological amendments for that matter) are unlikely to make much yield difference. You may get the odd discrepancy etc

Even then a tissue test is just a snapshot of certain plants at a certain time - a lot to extrapolate on!!
Yep, Mn deficiency shows here if not applied, Mg a bit low in soil tests so Bittersatz get applied, Cu can also be an issue in Barley on my soil types

Other than that nothing else, although I am getting various bits and bobs through Chicken muck and Bio solids, most Tag trials show the same unless a deficiency is present, I think you can go looking for problems that aren’t there and spend ££ in the process

I’ve just participated in a Farmbench group and it’s maybe just a coincidence that the Serviced agronomy farms had a high spend on Adjuvants and Trace elements :whistle:

This same discussion happened last year, t0 or no, was followed by showers and periods of rain making T1 timing difficult, and proved to be a wise move indeed.
Pennies wise pounds foolish to not do it if you ask me, cheap as chips 1litre of CTL and a sniff of Teb; gives some flexibility to T1 apart from anything else.
