Question

'Whip-tail' disease in cauliflower is noted due to deficiency of

• A. manganese
• B. magnesium
• C. molybdenum
• D. nitrogen

Answer 1

The correct option is C molybdenum

Whiptail disease is caused due to deficiency of molybdenum in soil. In young plants the symptoms of whiptail disease are chlorosis of leaf margins (the whole leaves may turn white) and the leaf blades do not develop properly. When the deficiency is severe, only the midribs develop.

So, the correct option is 'molybdenum'.
