Question

Name the soils in which deficiency of zinc occur mostly?

Answer 1

Zinc deficiency occurs when plant growth is limited because the plant cannot take up sufficient quantities of this essential micronutrient from its growing medium. It is one of the most widespread micronutrient deficienciesin crops and pastures worldwide andcauses large losses in crop production and crop quality.

Answer 2

In acidic as well as alkaline soils, the deficiency of Zinc occurs.  

Explanation:  

• The zinc deficiency takes place where the presence of zinc is minimal in soils. This deficiency can take place in both the alkaline as well as acidic soils.
• In alkaline soils, the zinc solubility is reduced to a great extent creating a deficiency.
• In acidic soils, on the other hand, the natural occurrence of the element is only low. In a soil that is zinc deficient, the leaves of the plants turn yellow and chlorosis might also occur.
