Decrease in Flower and Fruit Formation: Magnesium deficiency can affect the flower and fruit

formation of plants and cause low yields.

Problems in Root Development: Magnesium deficiency can adversely affect the root

development of plants and interfere with nutrient and water uptake.

16.5.2. Magnesium Excess

It may inhibit the absorption of other nutrients: Magnesium excess can inhibit the absorption

and transport of other nutrients in plants. This can cause mineral imbalances in plants.

Cellular Disruptions: Magnesium excess can lead to deterioration and toxicity in plant cells.

Disruption of cell membranes and organelle structures can be seen.

Decreased Photosynthesis: Magnesium excess can also negatively affect photosynthesis

efficiency and reduce the nutrient production of plants.

Inhibiting Root Development: Magnesium excess can negatively affect the root development

of plants and inhibit the growth of roots.

16.6. Sulphur

Sulphur is a micronutrient for plants and is essential for the healthy growth and development
of plants [100]. The main functions of sulphur in plants are as follows:

Formation of Amino Acids and Proteins: One of the main functions of sulphur is to ensure the
formation of amino acids and proteins in plants.

Chlorophyll Synthesis: Sulphur has an important role in the synthesis of chlorophyll in plants.

Synthesis of Plant Hormones: Sulphur is thought to be effective in the synthesis of some plant
hormones in plants.

Participation in Cell Membrane Structure: Sulfur participates in the structure of the cell
membrane in plants and supports the strength and functionality of the cell membrane.

Activates the Defense Mechanisms of Plants: Sulphur activates the defense mechanisms of
plants against diseases and harmful organisms. It especially increases the resistance of plants

against some diseases.
