Symptoms
Affected plants show stunted growth and a faint yellowgreen leaf color.
Deficiency symptoms are more intense during cold, wet weather.
Reasons
Zinc deficiency
In acid, sandy soils with high rainfall, zinc can be leached. On the other hand, Zn is also less available in soils which are highly limed or contain low organic matter.
Cabbage - Growth retardation

Zinc deficiency made worse by
Organic soils
High pH soils
Soils rich in phosphorus
Soils receiving high phosphorus application
Cold wet conditions
Zinc is important for
Structural and functional element of many enzymes
Important for internode elongation and photosynthesis
Increases sugar and Vitamin C contents
Higher stress tolerance
