DOSES AND PERIODS OF FERTILIZATION OF CULTURES

The role of zinc in mineral nutrition of plants

Zinc is an essential biogenic element, which performs various functions in the plant organism: participates in oxidation-reduction processes, regulating the oxidation of substrates and the transfer of electrons in the phosphorylating respiratory chain, activates in the plant the synthesis of at least 13 enzymes.

An important role of zinc in the assimilation of plants with other nutrients, including nitrogen. Zinc ions in the plant exhibit fungicidal properties, which enhances the resistance of plants to fungal diseases. Zinc promotes more economical water use by plants, thereby enhancing their heat resistance and drought resistance.

The intensity of zinc assimilation by plants from the soil depends on its acidity (it is insignificant on neutral and alkaline soils). With a high content of phosphorus in the soil, which exhibits antagonism with ions, zinc deficiency may occur.

With a lack of zinc in plants, the accumulation of sugars decreases, the content of organic acids increases, the synthesis of protein is disrupted, and the content of non-protein nitrogen compounds - amides and amino acids increases.

Signs of zinc deficiency: dwarfism (lanceolate) and rosette formation. On corn, the deficiency manifests as interveinal chlorosis of leaves. In vegetable cultures, yellowing of upper leaves with a bronze tint occurs, with a pattern of spots. On tomatoes, abnormally small chlorotic leaves form, resembling dwarfism of fruit-bearing trees.
