Name the mineral whose deficiency will be first visible in young leave
Answers
Deficiency of Sulfur and Calcium can be found in younger parts of the plant rather than the aged one.
Plant is about to show different type of symptoms for different kind of deficiency. The symptoms may get disappear when the plant gets the perfect amount of certain minerals but it will lead to the death of the plant when deficiency kept continued to its extend.
Some of the deficiency symptoms in plants are Chlorosis, necrosis, premature fall of leaves, inhibition in cell division and stunted growth in plants.
It is the iron deficiency that manifests absolutely in the beginning and affects most of the young leaves of a plant.
This unique condition, known as chlorosis, primarily associated with iron deprivation is characterised by yellowing of young leaves.
It’s to be noted that discolouration of leaves can be caused by lack of nitrogen, zinc or magnesium.
However, it’s iron which causes the foliage to turn yellow first.
