Summary Introduction
To review:
The nutrient deficiency that causes the young and old leaves of a plant to become yellow.
Introduction:
Nutritional deficiencies in plant arise when either the macronutrients or the micronutrients that are essential for the plant growth are not supplied in adequate quantities. Such deficiencies in plants are manifested in the form of symptoms and can result in reduced crop yields. Each deficiency shows a different symptom.

Your scheduled patrolling of com field has collected various leaves samples with symptoms
stated as below. Use these symptoms to explain about the type of nutrient deficiency to your
worker.
(i)
Burning of leaf tip and edge.
(ii)
Reddish purple leaf edge on lower leaves.
(iii)
Interveinal chlorosis.
(iv)
Wrinkled and unopened leaf.
(v)
Some of the nutrient deficiency symptoms were ohserved on new growth but some
were observed at the lower leaves. How would you explain this phenomenon to your
worker?
(vi)
What are the field guides to distinguish between biotic and abiotic causes of leaf
abnormalities?
