Name at least five
different deficiency symptoms in plants. Describe them and correlate
them with the concerned mineral deficiency.
Name at least five different deficiency symptoms in plants. Describe them and correlate them with the concerned mineral deficiency.
The five
main deficiency symptoms arising in plants are:
Chlorosis
Necrosis
Inhibition
of cell division
Delayed
flowering
Stunted
plant growth
Chlorosis
or loss of chlorophyll leads to the yellowing of leaves. It is caused
by the deficiencies of nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, iron,
manganese, zinc, and molybdenum.
Necrosis
is the death of plant tissues as a result of the deficiencies of
calcium, magnesium, copper, and potassium.
Inhibition
of cell division is caused by the deficiencies of nitrogen,
potassium, sulphur, and molybdenum.
Delayed
flowering is caused by the deficiencies of nitrogen, sulphur, and
molybdenum.
Stunted
plant growth is a result of the
deficiencies of copper and sulphur.
