BLOCK 5: Nutrient deficiency
Unit 1:
Deficiencies of Major nutrients and their toxicity
Deficiency symptoms of N, P and K toxicity in mulberry plants and
their effect on quality of mulberry, correction of the soil by soil
application, foliar application and fertigation methods.
Unit 2:
Deficiencies of Secondary nutrients and their toxicity
Deficiency symptoms of S, Mn, Fe, Mo, Mg, Ca, Zn and other
micronutrients and their toxicity in mulberry plants and their effect
on quality of mulberry, correction of the through soil and foliar
application and fertigation.
