INTRODUCTION Trace elements are essential nutrients required by plants in small quantities, yet they play a critical role in physiological and biochemical processes. Among these trace elements, copper (Cu) is particularly important due to its involvement in enzyme activation, photosynthesis, respiration, and lignin synthesis. Even minor copper deficiency can lead to serious growth disorders and […]

INTRODUCTION Manganese deficiency in cherries is an important micronutrient disorder that negatively affects tree growth, leaf function, and fruit productivity. Manganese plays a vital role in photosynthesis, enzyme activation, and nitrogen metabolism within cherry trees. When manganese availability is limited, essential physiological processes are disrupted, leading to visible deficiency symptoms and reduced yield potential. In […]
