Copper
Role of Nutrient
Important. Element of Nitrogen reductese enzymesSoil in which deficiency is prominent
Less common in any kind of soils, rare deficiencyEffects of Deficiency
Inhibit development of plant parts & flowers due to less nitrogen metabolisationSymptoms of Deficiency:
Yellowing of leaves & necrosis of leaf edgesCopper is necessary for carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, so inadequate copper results in stunting of plants. Copper also is required for lignin synthesis which is needed for cell wall strength and prevention of wilting. Deficiency symptoms of copper are dieback of stems and twigs, yellowing of leaves, stunted growth and pale green leaves that wither easily.Copper deficiencies are mainly reported on organic soils (peats and mucks), and on sandy soils which are low in organic matter. Copper uptake decreases as soil pH increases. Increased phosphorus and iron availability in soils decreases copper uptake by plants.Boost Your Crop Productivity Today!
