Potassium Deficiency in Maize Potassium (K) is a vital macronutrient necessary for the healthy growth and development of maize, as it plays a central role in numerous physiological and biochemical processes. It supports essential functions like photosynthesis, enzyme activation, water balance, and nutrient movement within the plant. However, potassium deficiency is a common issue in
The rising trend in rice production must continue to feed the world’s expanding population. Fertilizer application has been widely associated with the steady increase in rice yields since the Green Revolution. It is now essential to apply the best rice fertilizers at the ideal growth stage to maximize rice yield and reduce the negative effects

What is Bakanae Disease? The term “Bakanae” is derived from Japanese, meaning “foolish seedling,” and the disease is distributed worldwide. It is both a seed-borne and soil-borne disease. The rice (Oryza sativa L.) disease known as “foolish seedling,” or Bakanae disease, is spread generally by seeds. Grain yield can significantly reduce when infected plants die
What is Zinc Deficiency? The most lacking micronutrient in soils globally is zinc. According to research, 49% of the world’s agriculturally significant soils have insufficient zinc levels, which causes a third of the world’s population to suffer from zinc insufficiency (Sillanpää, 1990; Cakmak et al., 2010). This shortage affects millions of hectares of agriculture, majorly
