Deficiency Symptoms and Correction · NCERT Biology

Hydroponics can be used to identify deficiency symptoms by:

  1. Growing plants in soil with high salt concentration
  2. Growing plants in a solution lacking one specific element
  3. Increasing only the atmospheric CO2 concentration
  4. Testing the tensile strength of the roots
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growing plants in a solution lacking one specific element

Hydroponics is a soil-less culture technique. By selectively omitting an element from the nutrient solution, researchers can observe and document the specific deficiency symptoms associated with that element.
