Zinc Deficiency in Plants
Zinc is a type of micronutrient that is important for protein and sugar production. It is also used to make chlorophyll and promotes stem growth. Often a deficiency may happen when there are dry climates and alkaline soils. It may also be caused by acidic pH levels. However, plants only need small amounts of Zinc, but it is needed for plant growth hormones, proteins, and cell membranes.
