Nutrient Deficiency Disorders in Fruit Trees and their Management

  • Chapter
Fruit and Vegetable Diseases

Part of the book series: Disease Management of Fruits and Vegetables ((DMFV,volume 1))

Abstract

The growth, development and productivity of fruit trees depend on several environmental and biotic factors. Among these factors nutrient imbalance also causes serious disorders in plants and as a result not only the yield but also quality of fruits is affected. To identify the disorders created by low or excess quantities of essential macro- and micro-nutrients, several techniques and methods have been specified which are helpful in recognizing and diagnosing the nutrient disorder(s) not only in fruit trees but also of the soil on which these are growing. Various particular parts of the fruit trees have been identified which are suggestive of nutrient status of the trees. On the basis of these, the deficient, sufficient and excess values have been worked out and are helpful in recouping such disorders. In hidden hunger conditions in addition to quantitative nutrient analysis, certain biochemical parameters also play an important role in specifying the disorder(s) specially in deficiency conditions. In abnormal nutrient conditions with the help of techniques, recovery in productivity has been obtained in several instances.

To obtain sustenance in food production, the application of both inorganic fertilizers along with organic manures is essential.
