Zinc deficiency in paddy causes chlorosis in lower leaves particularly towards the base. Deficient plants also give a brown rusty appearance.
Copper deficiency causes chlorotic streaks on leaves on either side of the midrib and appearance of dark brown necrotic lesions on leaf tips.
Magnesium deficiency in paddy causes chlorosis in leaves with white tips.
Application of micronutient corrects the above deficiencies and makes available all the nutrients required for plant growth and imparts disease resistance in paddy.
Recommended dose
For one acre, apply 5 - 10 kgs of Bannari Paddy Micronutrient mixture mixed with 200 kgs of well decomposed farm yard manure or biocompost within 15 days after transplanting.
