In general, the deficiency of nitrogen may cause chlorosis and also as well as delayed flowering.So that, necrosis can be caused by the deficiency of many nutrients like calcium, mg, k, etc. If a plant exhibit a symptom that could develop due to deficiency of more than one nutrient then to find out them experimentally, which is the required deficient mineral element.we have to prepare the dilute solutions first of all the possible deficient nutrients. A number of plants will be grown in small pots using nutrient-deficient soil will be noted. Then dilute solutions of different nutrients will be added in different pots.In one set there may be the growth of plants will become normal. The nutrient which is supplied to these plants had been
