    Biology Investigatory Project About Symptoms of Nutrient Deficiency in Plants

    Uploaded by

    Vardhan Raj
    This document outlines an experiment to study the essentiality and deficiency symptoms of minerals on plant growth. Seedlings were grown in solution cultures lacking specific minerals (-N, -Ca, -Fe, -Cl) and observed over time. Seedlings lacking nitrogen showed chlorosis in older leaves and stunted growth. Those lacking calcium showed stunted growth, necrosis and curled leaves. The iron-deficient seedlings exhibited interveinal chlorosis and reduced growth. Chlorine-deficient seedlings displayed leaf wilting, chlorosis and necrosis, and swollen root tips. The results demonstrated the essentiality of these minerals and the deficiency symptoms that occur when they are lacking.

    AIM:

    TO STUDY ESSENTIALITY

    OF
    MINERALS
    AND
    DEFICIENCY
    SYMPTOMS OF ESSENTIAL MINERALS ON
    PLANT GROWTH.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    CULTURE SOLUTIONS, GRAM OR MAIZE SEEDLINGS,
    STERILISED BOTTLES, WEIGHING BALANCE.

    THEORY:
    PLANT REQUIRE MINERALS FOR NORMAL GROWTH
    AND DEVELOPMENT.
    MINERALS WHICH ARE NEEDED IN LARGE
    QUANTITY ARE CALLED MACRONUTRIENTS. FOR
    EXAMPLES, C, H, O, N, S, P, K, Ca, Mg AND Fe.
    MINERALS WHICH ARE NEEDED IN SMALL
    QUANTITY ARE CALLED MICRONUTRIENTS. FOR
    EXAMPLES, Mn, Zn, B, Cu AND Mo.
    HYDROPONICS= SOIL LESS CULTURES= TO RAISE
    THE PLANTS IN SOLUTION CULTURES WITHOUT
    USING SOIL.

    HYDROPONICS IS USEFUL:
    (a) IN AREAS WITH THIN, FERTILE ANDDRY SOILS
    (b) TO FIND OUT THE ESSENTIALITY AND
    DEFICIENCY
    SYMPTOMS
    OF
    VARIOUS
    MINERALS.
    CRITERIA FOR ESSENTIALITY OF AN ELEMENT
    IS:
    (a) IT IS NECESSARY FOR GROWTH AND
    DEVELOPMENT AND IT IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED
    IN PLANT METABOLISM.
    (b) IT CANNOT BE REPLACED BY ANY OTHER
    ELEMENT.
    (c)

    DEFICIENCY OF THE ELEMENT PRODUCES


    DEFICIENCY
    SYMPTOMS.
    DEFICIENCY
    SYMPTOMS OR HUNGER SIGNS INCLUDE
    CHLOROSIS, STUNTED GROWTH, NECROSIS,
    PREMATURE
    LEAF
    FALL,
    MALFORMED
    LEAVES.
    ESSENTIALITY
    OF
    MINERALS
    CAN
    DETERMINED BY GROWING PLANTS IN:

    (a)

    BE

    KNOPS AND SACHS CULTURE SOLUTION


    WHICH CONTAIN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT SALTS

    IN SPECIFIC RATIO DISSOLVED IN DISTILLED


    WATER.
    (b)

    HEATED PURE QUARTZ SAND, MIXED WITH
    CULTURE SOLUTION CONTAINING SPECIFIC
    SALTS.

    PROCEDURE:
