    Introduction :-

    • Like humans,plants need


    a specific amount of
    minerals.If the needed
    amount of minerals is not
    provided then
    DEFICIENCIES occurs.
    • Without sufficient
    essential nutrients, plants
    will not grow well and
    show various symptoms
    to express the deficiency.
    1.Nitrogen
    • Nitrogen is one of the major
    nutrients commonly applied as
    fertilisers. Plants absorb
    Nitrogen in the form of
    ammonium or nitrate which can
    be readily dissolved in water
    and leached away from soil.
    Whole leaves turn yellow,
    starting from the lower to
    upper leaves.
    2.Phosphorus
    • Phosphorus is the
    second major
    component in
    fertilisers. Plants
    absorb Phosphorus
    in the form of
    phosphate.
    • Phosphorus is
    needed by plants Purple or bronze discolouration in
    to promote the upper and lower sides of older
    photosynthesis leaves.
    3.Potassium
    • Potassium is the third major
    component in fertilisers. Plants
    absorb Potassium as an ion
    • Potassium is needed by the
    plants to promote formation of
    sugars for protein synthesis,

    Browning or yellowing on
    leaf edges of newly
    matured leaves.
    4.Zinc
    • Zinc is needed
    to activate
    plant growth
    regulators.
    Yellowing between veins
    and bronze spots in
    younger leaves.
    Nutrient Symptoms Disea
    se
    Nitrogen General chlorosis of entire plant Red leaf
    to a light green followed by cotton
    yellowing of older leaves
    proceeding towards younger
    leaves. Plants become spindly,
    stunted
    Phosporus Purple or bronze colouration on Dwarf
    the underside of older leaves due cotton
    to the accumulation of the
    pigment, Anthocyanin. Affected
    plants develop very slowly and
    are stunted compared to normal
    Potassium Leaf edge chlorosis Curling of leaf
    on new matured
    leaves tips
    Zinc Chlorosis, bronzing or Chlorosis
    mottling of younger
    leaves. Interveinal
    chlorosis of the young
    leaves followed by
    reduced shoot growth
    with short internodes

    Magnesium Older leaves are Interveinal


    chlorotic in between
    veins, often known as chlorosis
    interveinal chlorosis. In
    severe deficiency,
    plant growth rate
    drops, leaf size is
    reduced, and lower
