Zinc & Boron Deficiency in Crops: Symptoms and Cure

Two of the most common — and most overlooked — micronutrient deficiencies in Indian fields. Learn to spot them early and fix them fast.

Micronutrient deficiencies often go unnoticed because the symptoms look like other problems. Yet even a mild shortage of zinc or boron can quietly cut yields by a significant margin.

Spotting zinc deficiency

Zinc deficiency shows up as yellowing between leaf veins, stunted growth and small leaves, especially in paddy and wheat. A chelated Zinc EDTA correction is fast and plant-available.

Spotting boron deficiency

Boron deficiency affects flowering and fruit set — hollow stems, poor pollination and deformed fruits are tell-tale signs, common in mustard, vegetables and fruit crops. Boron EDTA corrects it precisely.

The fix

Use chelated micronutrients at the recommended stage rather than guessing. Because they are plant-available, correction is quick and dosage is low. See each product page for crop-wise dosage.
