Fig.748-751 Maize (corn) plants (Zea mays) in the juvenile stage with differently developed symptoms of Zn deficiency in a field trial on a chernozem soil in Romania with a pH of 6.9 after 10 years high application of 160 kg/ha P every year. Notice the characteristic white to yellow-white stripes on both sides of the midrib of the leaves, the yellow to white color of the youngest leaves (“white bud”) and the squatted growth of the plants.
