Abstract
: Availability of nutrients is essential for proper growth and production of plants. When plants do not receive the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities, their growth is disrupted and a variety of symptoms appear. In this research paper, the symptoms of nutrient deficiency in plants have been studied in depth. Nutrients are mainly divided into two parts - macronutrients and micronutrients. Each nutrient plays a specific role in plants and its deficiency leads to specific symptoms. Due to the deficiency of nitrogen the leaves start becoming yellow, while due to the deficiency of phosphorous the color of the leaves becomes dark green or purple. Lack of potassium can lead to burn-like spots on the edges of the leaves. Similarly, a deficiency of calcium and magnesium can lead to the development of structural defects in plants. Deficiency of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, boron, copper, etc. also leads to specific symptoms, including intervenial chlorosis, leaf shedding, and stunted root growth. The study also highlighted the causes of nutrient deficiencies, including decline in soil fertility, unbalanced fertiliser use, waterlogging or drought, and root damage. In addition, the diagnosis of nutrient deficiencies and their effective solutions have also been discussed. Special attention has been given to right nutrition management techniques such as balanced use of organic and inorganic fertilizers, crop rotation, and strategies to maintain soil fertility.
