Mineral Nutrition : The basic needs of all living organisms

These MCQs are designed in such a way, which focuses mainly on inorganic plant nutrition, wherein you will learn the study of the methods to identify elements essential to growth and development of plants and the criteria for establishing the essentiality and also study the role of the essential elements, their major deficiency symptoms and the mechanism of absorption of these essential elements. It also helps you to introduce yourself briefly to the significance and the mechanism of biological nitrogen fixation.
