Chlorine

Importance of Chlorine

• Chlorine functions in plant growth and development include osmotic and stomatal regulation
• It is involved in  evolution of oxygen in photosynthesis
• It plays a role in  disease resistance and tolerance in plants

Chlorine deficiency symptoms

• Chlorine deficiency results in blotchy leaf chlorosis and necrosis. 
• Chlorine deficiency can be distinguished from other nutrient imbalances because leaves will exhibit characteristic distinct and abrupt boundaries between the affected and healthy tissue. 
• Severe cases of chlorine deficiency may result in bronzing and/or wilting of leaves, though these are not reliable symptoms.
