A Study Of The Response Of Applied Zinc On Plant Growth In Sorghum Bicolor.L

Abstract

This piece examines the significance of sorghum not only as a cereal crop but also as a candidate for use as a potential source of bioenergy. In addition to this, the article emphasises the significance of zinc as an essential nutrient for plants and its part in the processes that make up their physiological functions. The authors provide information on the requirements for growing sorghum, the type of soil needed, as well as its nutritional value as a food source for both humans and animals. They also discuss the necessity of zinc in plant metabolism, as well as its effect on the uptake and transport of water, the production of enzymes, the induction of genes for antioxidant defence enzymes, and the competition for storage space. The article draws the conclusion that optimal sorghum growth requires the presence of a sufficient quantity of zinc and that it is extremely important to comprehend the relationship between zinc in the soil and zinc in plants.
