Is there zinc deficiency in your paddy crop?

Zinc deficiency causes multiple symptoms that usually appear 2 to 3 weeks after transplanting (WAT) rice seedlings.
Zinc deficiency most often occurs in cool, wet spring weather and symptoms usually appear soon after flooding in rice.
Zinc deficiency can stunt plant growth, delay maturity and reduce yield. It also makes the leaves very sensitive to light and heat.
Symptoms are most often seen in new-growth leaves that develop brown blotches and streaks that may fuse to cover older leaves entirely, plants remain stunted and in severe cases may die.
