A plant developed a mineral deficiency after being treated with a fungicide.
Cause of deficiency:
The most probable cause of deficiency is that mineral receptor proteins in the plant membrane were not functioning.
- Plant growth and development largely depend on the combination and concentration of mineral nutrients available in the soil.
- Symptoms of nutrient deficiency may include stunted growth, death of plant tissue, or yellowing of the leaves caused by a reduced production of chlorophyll, a pigment needed for photosynthesis.
- Due to mineral deficiency a plant cannot get enough of a particular mineral from the soil for healthy growth.
Soil is a major source of nutrients needed by plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
