3.5 Tiny Bytes: Understanding Plant Nutrient Mobility

Awareness of nutrient mobility in plants drastically improves in-field diagnosis of crop issues. In this episode, we dive deep into plant nutrient mobility and how nutrient mobility impacts visual symptoms in the field.• Discussion on the concept of nutrient mobility • Insights into mobile vs. immobile nutrient deficiencies • Importance of tissue testing for accurate diagnoses Relatively immobile nutrients (symptoms will appear on newest leaf tissue): S, Zn, Fe, Cu, B, Ca, Mn, Mo, NiRelatively mobile nutrients (symptoms will appear on oldest leaf tissue): N, P, K, MgDon't forget to subscribe and share your thoughts on social media! Cover art diagram courtesy of the 4R Plant Nutrition Manual, IPNI 2012 (https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/identifying_nutrient_deficiency_symptoms_in_field_crops)https://gktechinc.com/https://gktechinc.com/
