Fe, Mn, and Zn affected the chlorophyll (Chl) content whereas Fe deficiency caused larger reduction of total chlorophyll content than Mg and Zn deficiencies. Mg deficient mango had a higher Chl a/b ratio than the respective healthy plants. The foliar contents of Fe, Zn, and Mg in the deficient leaves were lower than the critical level. Nutrient deficiency significantly affected the Fv/Fm ratios as observed from the Chl fluorescence induction curves. Fe deficiency resulted in larger reduction of variable fluorescence than Mg and Zn deficiency. and K, Balakrishnan, C. Rajendran, G. Kulandaivelu.
