Plant functional diagnostics

Today, the functional diagnostics of plants is one of the effective ways to quickly analyze the needs of plants in certain nutrients. The use of functional diagnostics allows you to determine the needs of plants in nutrients directly in the field and carry out corrective feeding without wasting time. The advantages of this method include, first of all, the disadvantages of existing alternatives.

So the chemical diagnostics of the mineral nutrition of plants speaks about the actual content and accumulation of individual nutrients, without taking into account their associated mutual influence. The deficiency of individual elements determined in this way does not take into account the complex need of plants and does not give a clear prediction about the possible degree of response of the crop to foliar feeding.

Visual diagnostics, in spite of its simplicity and almost complete absence of direct costs, requires, first of all, highly qualified and experience of specialists, since often the excesses and deficiencies of different elements can be similar in appearance. Moreover, the presence of visual signs on plants indicates that the culture and as a result the crop has already suffered irreparable damage and precious time has been lost.

Functional diagnostics of plants makes it possible to evaluate not the content of individual elements in the tissues of plants, but the need for them. The principle of functional diagnostics is to assess the level of photochemical activity of a chloroplast suspension. Photochemical activity is determined sequentially in  2 stages, before adding the battery and after it. If, when a certain nutrient element is added, the photochemical activity of a chloroplast suspension increases, there is a deficiency of this element, if it falls — an excess, the absence of changes indicates an optimal level of supply.
