What is the importance of zinc in agriculture
  • Zinc is needed strongly for the development of plants. It is one of the eighth essential micronutrients. In India, Zinc (Zn) is now considered as the fourth most important yield-limiting nutrient in agricultural crops.
  • Deficiency in Zinc might result in a significant reduction in crop yields and quality. In fact, yield can be reduced by over 20% before any visual symptoms of the deficiency.
  • In plants, zinc is a key constituent of many enzymes and protein synthesis.
  •  It plays an important role in a wide range of processes, such as growth hormone production and internode elongation.
  • It is often deficient in alkaline, rocky soil.
  • Young leaves of Zinc deficient plants are small with yellow interveinal mottling. 
  • Soil application of Zinc Sulphate @ 20 kg/acre is recommended to reduce the damage.

  • In wilt disease, the leaves turn light yellow while the leaves of the top branches become curved and twisted.
  • In the later stage, the yellowed leaves discolor and fall prematurely. 
  • The plant fails to produce new leaves or flowers causing some of the twigs to bare and eventually dry up.
  • Proper sanitation in the garden can keep the disease at bay. The infected trees should be uprooted, 
  • For prevention of this disease, Trichoderma viride 5 -10 grams or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 grams per 5 kg of treated cow dung should be added per pitcher, while planting and 10 kg per pitcher on old plants.
  • Trichoderma viride 5 -10 grams or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 grams per liter of water and drench on the plant.
  •  Make a basin around the guava plant and mix CARBENDAZIM 45%WP @ 2 gram/liter of water or COPPER OXYCHLORIDE 50% WP @ 2.5 gram/liter of water and drenching it in the basin.

Calcium deficiency Symptoms in tomato plant
  • Symptoms are primarily visible in the rapidly growing areas because of the very low mobility of calcium in plant tissues.
  • Calcium-deficient leaves show chlorosis and then necrosis around the base of the leaves. 
  • Dead spots appear on the stem as symptoms of Calcium deficiency,  causing the death of the parts facilitating the upper growth of the plant.
  • Symptoms also cause leaves to turn yellow at the edges which initially were dark green in color and finally causing the plant to die. 
  • Fruits showing blossom end rot were found to ripen less rapidly. Blossom end rot is closely associated with Calcium deficiency of the fruit.
