economic effects of nutrient deficiency in crop production

NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY OF PLANTS
People and plants are very different types of organisms. For example,people have blood, while plants have sap. People are consumers, while plants are producers. Despite their many differences, both people and plants are made up of cells. In order for cells to be healthy, they must have certain nutrients. If a person is lacking a needed vitamin,mineral, or essential element, then a deficiency is the result. We are familiar with the results of some nutrient deficiencies. For example, if a person lacks iron, he or she becomes anemic or if a person lacks calcium, his or her bones become brittle. As discussed in section 2.0 Plants andTheir Essential Elements, plants require a variety of elements to be present in different amounts in order to support healthy growth. A nutrients defeincy results if a particular nutrient is not available in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the growing plant. Nutrient toxicity occurs when a nutrient is present in such an excess that it harms the plant. Table 9 lists most of the essential plant nutrients and describes what happens when plants have too little or too much of them.
EFFECTS (There are a number of important issues in agricultural food production and consumption that have significant impacts on the environment and human health such as soil bio diversity, desertification, water use and water pollution, energy, climate change chemicals, food safety and biotechnology.)
I hope it will help you and mark me as a brain list answer plz.
Nutrient deficiency in crops occur when a certain or specific nutrients are not in proper or educate amount present in that crop or plant.
Nutrient deficiency in production can affect the economy of a society :
● if the crops are low in nutrient value then they will be of no value in the market and won't be purchased or cannot be exported to other countries which will affect the economy of a country.
● if crops with low nutrient value are consumed by people of a nation then it will lead to nutrient deficiency in those people and would account for low productivity from the work which will be done by those people.
● crops no nutrient value are very effective on the population of a country which will dissolve in lower production and hence will directly affect the economy of a country.
