Zinc (Zn)
Zinc (Zn) is an essential plant micronutrient required for normal plant growth and development. It plays a key role in protein synthesis, cell wall stability, and the regulation of plant growth. Zinc is particularly important for shoot elongation and the proper development of plant tissues. Zinc deficiency can cause characteristic symptoms such as stunted growth, reduced leaf size, and rosetting. When deficiency occurs, targeted zinc fertilisation should be applied to improve plant growth, development, and overall plant health.
