Zinc And Plant Growth: What Is The Function Of Zinc In Plants

Zinc and Plant Growth. The function of zinc is to help the plant produce chlorophyll. Leaves discolor when the soil is deficient in zinc and plant growth is stunted. Zinc deficiency causes a type of leaf discoloration called chlorosis, which causes the tissue between the veins to turn yellow while the veins remain green.
