Questions and Answers

What are some stresses that can induce their own characteristic set of visual symptoms, often resembling those of nutrient deficiency?

  • Fertilizer application, light intensity, and humidity
  • Competition with other plants, genetic factors, and soil type
  • Salinity, pathogens, and air pollution (correct)
  • Temperature, soil pH, and water availability
  • What should one keep in mind when using visual nutrient deficiency symptoms as a diagnostic tool for plants?

  • Visual symptoms are reliable indicators of a plant's nutrient status
  • Visual symptoms are always sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of a plant’s nutrient status
  • Visual symptoms are only associated with one mineral deficiency
  • A single visual symptom is usually not enough to definitively diagnose a plant's nutrient status (correct)
  • What do classic deficiency symptoms such as tip burn, chlorosis, and necrosis often indicate?

  • Over-fertilization
  • A single mineral deficiency without any other stresses
  • More than one mineral deficiency and other stresses (correct)
  • A specific pathogen infection

    Study Notes

    Stresses and Visual Symptoms

    • Certain stresses can induce a characteristic set of visual symptoms, often resembling those of nutrient deficiency.

    Diagnosis of Nutrient Deficiency

    • When using visual nutrient deficiency symptoms as a diagnostic tool for plants, one should keep in mind that similar symptoms can be caused by other factors, not just nutrient deficiency.

    Classic Deficiency Symptoms

    • Tip burn, chlorosis, and necrosis often indicate a deficiency in micronutrients, such as boron, copper, or zinc.

    Pathogen-Induced Chlorosis

    • Chlorosis produced by pathogens, such as fungal infections, can resemble nutrient deficiency symptoms.

    Salinity Stress

    • Salinity stress can cause symptoms in plants that might initially seem similar to nutrient deficiency symptoms, such as yellowing or stunted growth.
