Different crops are more or less susceptible to particular deficiencies and hence more or less responsive to nutrient applications.
The table below scores crops by their susceptibility to deficiency, not by how widespread the deficiency is (e.g. Iron deficiency is rarely a problem in arable crops in the UK).
