Abstract
Macro‐ and Microsymptoms of Zinc Deficiency in Higher PlantsThe development of zinc deficiency symptoms was studied in eight different plant species grown under controlled experimental conditions in soilless sulture. The following results were obtained.One symptom of zinc deficiency was found to be the development of a violet to red colouring matter which first appeared in the form of small dots or as spots of discolouration which later covered the entire leaf. This discolouration was found primarily in young but already completely developed leaves. Here, the symptoms started to devlop in single cells.Further symptoms of zinc deficiency were observed to be a retarded growth, short internodes, small leaves and a very poor formation of roots.
