Abstract
ZINC deficiency of fruit trees, which was first recognized by Chandler et al.1 in 1931, has since been reported as a serious trouble in many of the important fruit-growing countries of the world, particularly in the United States2 and Australia3,4,5. In Europe, instances have been reported in Hungary6, Holland, Denmark and Switzerland7. Affected fruits have included Citrus, apples, pears, most stone fruits, walnuts, grapes and pecans, the deficiency being especially widespread in all Citrus fruits.
