Soya bean - Chlorosis
Symptoms
Younger leaves of Zn-deficient plants show interveinal chlorosis and necrotic brown leaf veins.
Causes
Zinc deficiency
The tolerance of Zn deficiency varies strongly between different soybean cultivars.
Zinc deficiency made worse by
- Organic soils
- High pH soils
- Soils rich in phosphorus
- Soils receiving high phosphorus application
- Cold wet conditions
Zinc is important for
- Correct functioning of enzymes
- Better synthesis of nucleic acids
- Improved auxin (plant hormone) metabolism
