Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth and development. It plays a crucial role in enzyme activation, protein synthesis, hormone regulation, membrane stability, and chlorophyll formation. Despite its importance, zinc availability and mobility within plants are often limited, particularly under conditions of soil alkalinity, high phosphorus levels, or poor root development. Understanding […]

Introduction Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for numerous physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including enzyme activation, auxin synthesis, protein metabolism, and chlorophyll formation. Zinc deficiency is widespread in many agricultural regions, particularly in high pH and calcareous soils where soil-applied zinc may become immobilized. Foliar application of zinc EDTA has emerged as an […]
