Abstract—This review paper based on micro nutrients effects
and analysis of different methods applied and which type of
results are come out. We take overview of nutrients effects on its
value. Use data mining methods for getting given result.
Keywords—Micro nutrients study, Data mining Methods
I. INTRODUCTION
In Agriculture sixteen fertilizer nutrients area unit essential
for correct crop development that absorb from soil. Everyone is
equally necessary to the plant that needed in immensely totally
different amounts. These essential components variations have
led to the grouping into 3 classes like primary (macro)
nutrients, secondary nutrients and micronutrients that all are
required to plant or crop for develop.
Primary (macro) nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P),
and potassium (K). They’re the foremost of times needed
during a crop fertilization program. All area unit would like
within the greatest total amount by plants as fertilizer. The
secondary nutrients area unit Ca (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and
Sulphur (S). For most crops, these 3 are required in lesser
amounts that the first nutrients. They’re growing in importance
because of additional tight clean air standards and efforts to
boost the atmosphere in crop fertilization programs. The
micronutrients area unit boron (B), chlorine (Cl), cooper (Cu),
iron(Fe), manganese (Mg), molybdenum (Mo), cobalt (Co),
silicon (Si) and Zn (Zn). These fertilizer components area unit
employed in terribly little amounts, however they're even as
necessary to plant development and profitable crop production
because the major nutrients [2] [3]. Especially, they work
"behind the activators of the many plant functions. All nutrients
area unit required however it's some restricted rating. In step
with their restricted rate, each nutrient has its own totally
different impact on crops. Macro or primary components area
unit importance for the expansion of the plant however small
components aren't slighter than those of major components.
Because of deficiency of those are leaves, branches and fruits
might not properly grow and that they might even are the fruits
quality yet as production. Small components conjointly
facilitate in development of enzymes, hormones, chlorophyll
and within the absorption of major components Nutrient
functions, deficiency symptoms, convenience are used for
agricultural land that is extremely effectively offer impact on
soil.
II. NUTRIENT FUNCTION [4][5]
Nutrient Deficiency and Excess
Nutrient Deficiency Excess
Nitrogen (N) Reduced growth, light-
weight green to yellow
foliage. Reds and
purples, Sometimes with
pink tints
Succulent growth, Thick
and brittle; leaves are dark
green, Poor fruit set;
excess ammonia will
induce Ca deficiency
Phosphorus
(P)
Reduced growth; leaves
dark green; purple or red
in older leaves
Shows up as micronutrient
deficiency of Fe, Zn, or Co
Potassium
(K)
Reduced growth;
Shortened internodes;
Older leaves become
burn; Poor flowering or
fruiting
Causes N deficiency in
plant and should have an
effect on the uptake of
alternative positive ions
like Mg and Ca
Magnesium
(Mg)
Yellowish, bronze,
chromatic color
Little death spots in older
leaves; Interferes with Ca
uptake
Calcium
(Ca)
Inhibition of bud growth;
roots will flip black and
rot; young leaves are
rough structure is weak;
Interferes with Mg
absorption high Ca
typically causes high pH
that then precipitates
several of the matter so
that they become
unavailable to the plant
Sulfur (S) Rarely deficient; general
yellowing of the young
leaves
Sulfur excess is usually in
the form of air pollution
Iron (Fe) Interveinal chlorosis,
Soil high in Ca, Poorly
drained soil, soil high in
Mn, high pH, high P, soil
high in heavy metals
(Cu, Zn), Dryness of
branches and leaves,
Yellowing of leaves.
Rare except on flooded
soils
Boron (B) Failure to set seed;
Internal breakdown of
fruit or vegetable; Death
of apical buds, Giving
rise to witches broom;
Corkiness & Dryness of
fruits, Internal rotting in
plant
Tips and edges of leaves
exhibit necrotic spots
coalescing into a marginal
scorch
Zinc (Zn) Young leaves are very
small, Small size of
leaves, Deformed leaves
Poor germination;
entire leaf is affected by
chlorosis
Copper (Cu) New growth small,
Misshapen, wilted;
Gummosis in plants,
Dieback in plant,
Discolor of leaf
Can occur at low pH;
shows up as Fe deficiency
Manganese
(Mn)
Poor bloom size and
color; induced by
excessively high pH.
Discoloration of leaves,
Yellowing of leaves
Reduction in growth,
brown spotting on leaves;
shows up as Fe deficiency;
Molybdenum
(Mo)
Interveinal chlorosis on
older or midstream
leaves; Twisted leaves
(whiptail); Yellow spots
in the leaves, Loss of
greenness in leaves
Intense yellow or purple
color in leaves; rarely
observed
Chlorine (Cl) Yellowing of leaves and
fall from plants, Fading
of plant
Salt injury, leaf burn, may
increase succulence
Cobalt (Co) This need by plants
recently established;
essential for Nitrogen
fixation
Little is known about its
deficiency or toxicity
symptoms
