Q.12
Which nutrient is often a limiting factor in agricultural production?
EXPLANATION
Soil Science, Plant Nutrition & Reclamation
- Nitrogen (N): The primary macronutrient that is most widely deficient and universally limiting for crop growth and yield across virtually all agro-climatic zones and soil orders in India. (Correct answer)
- Carbon: Readily acquired by plants from atmospheric carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) during photosynthesis and is not a soil-supplied mineral limiting nutrient.
- Oxygen: Absorbed freely from air and soil pore spaces during root respiration and is not a limiting mineral fertilizer element.
- Hydrogen: Supplied in abundant quantities through water ($H_2O$) absorbed by roots during transpirational uptake.
