DOSES AND PERIODS OF FERTILIZATION OF CULTURES

The role of copper in mineral nutrition of plants

Copper is part of enzymes, increases the intensity of respiration and photosynthesis, affects protein and carbohydrate metabolism. The main importance of copper is participation in the synthesis of oxidoreductase enzymes in plants. Copper is present in the active center of the metal-protein complex, acts as an activator of biochemical processes, promotes protein synthesis, affecting nitrogen exchange in the plant. Copper stimulates the synthesis of carbohydrates, improves the uptake of nitrogen and magnesium by the plant, participates in auxin and nucleic acid exchange, lignin biosynthesis.

Copper fertilizers are effective in crops: sugar, fodder and table beets, turnips, carrots, peas, mustard, sunflower, flax and hemp. The use of copper fertilizers promotes an increase in protein content in the grain of cereals and legumes, increases the content of sugar in root crops and vitamin C in fruits.

Signs of copper deficiency

Winter cereals are indicator plants of copper deficiency. The lack of copper in winter cereal crops is manifested in the form of empty-headedness. In starving plants, the tips of young leaves are whitened and curled, followed by yellowing and death. Abnormal development of the ear is observed.

In fruit crops, young shoots die, leaf edges exhibit marginal chlorosis and necrosis, and plant transition to the generative phase (flowering and fruiting) is significantly delayed. Leaves fall off, shoot tips die and bend downward.

Copper starvation of plants is intensified by high concentrations of heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Zn) in the soil solution due to antagonism of ions.
