But such an assumption is incorrect. In fact, the deficiency symptoms are quite complex because each nutrient has a number of different biological functions and each function may have an independent set of interactions with a wide range of environmental parameters. In addition, the expression of these symptoms varies for acute or chronic deficiency conditions. Most of the classic deficiency symptoms described in textbooks are characteristic of acute deficiencies. In experiments designed to study micronutrient deficiency symptoms, micronutrients are usually omitted from the nutrient solution. In natural systems, the plant encounters many degrees and types of stresses that result in different types of symptoms occurring over time.
