Plant Diseases: Ion Deficiencies in Plants đŸŒ± GCSE Biology Learning & Revision

In this episode, we will discuss ion deficiencies in plants.

Healthy plant development relies on mineral ions extracted from the soil. A lack of these ions, particularly magnesium and nitrates, leads to deficiency disorders. 

Magnesium is essential for chlorophyll production; its absence causes chlorosis, impairing photosynthesis and glucose creation. Nitrates are required for protein production, and deficiency results in stunted plant growth. 

Ultimately, poor soil quality is the root cause of ion deficiencies and subsequent plant health issues.
