    Deficiency of which elements makes plant more susceptible to fungal infection?
    Question

    Deficiency of which elements makes plant more susceptible to fungal infection?

    A.

    Silicon

    B.

    Nickel

    C.

    Both (a) & (b)

    D.

    Nitrogen

    Correct option is D

    ✅ (d) Nitrogen: • Nitrogen deficiency weakens plants, reducing chlorophyll, protein synthesis, and natural defense mechanisms. • As a result, plants become more vulnerable to fungal and bacterial pathogens.
    ❌ (a) Silicon: • Provides mechanical strength and helps resist pests, but deficiency doesn’t directly increase fungal susceptibility as much as N.
    ❌ (b) Nickel: • Involved in enzyme systems but not directly linked with fungal resistance.
