The Impacts of Micronutrient Fertility on the Mineral Uptake and Growth of Brassica carinata

Many abiotic factors impact the yield and growth of Brassica carinata (commonly referred to as or Ethiopian mustard). Very little is known about how mineral nutrients its growth, more specifically, sufficiency values for fertility over plant’s cycle life stages. This study explored impacts that plant nutrients, specifically micronutrients, can have on development distinct stages (rosette, bolting, flowering, pod set). Plants were grown under varying micronutrient concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 87.5, 100%) a modified Hoagland’s solution. Data collected height, canopy diameter, leaf tissue nutrient concentrations, biomass. The results demonstrated has profound production during different Boron (B) exclusion had greatest reproduction carinata, with death apical meristem resulted in lack siliques seeds at lowest rate.
