TRANSIENT NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY

‘Transient Nutrient Deficiencies’During times of High Nutrient Demand (eg. fruit growth) - Demand exceeds SupplyDue to Phenology and Environmental Interactions (eg. cold weather at flowering) - Phenology Enhanced DeficiencyDue to limitations in within plant nutrient transport (eg. B, Ca, Zn, Fe)- Transport Induced Deficiency
