IMPORTANCE OF ZINC IN PLANT NUTRITION: A REVIEW

Abstract

Zinc is a micronutrient found in plants that is involved in a variety of physiological processes; inadequate availability can result in crop yield loss. The most prevalent is zinc deficiency problems associated with micronutrients, virtually all crops, and lime, sandy soil, and peat. It is projected that soils and soils with a high phosphorus and silicon content will be insufficient. Zinc deficiency can harm the plant by delaying growth, lowering farmer numbers, causing chlorosis and smaller leaves, accelerating plant maturity, spik sterility, and producing low-quality rice products. Apart from its role in crop yields, zinc performs several essential cellular activities in all living organisms and is engaged in the development of the human immune system. When the human body does not get enough water, it suffers from hair loss and memory loss, skin problems, and muscle weakness.
