    TLDR Zinc is essential for plant growth and human health.
    Zinc is a crucial micronutrient in plant nutrition, essential for various physiological processes. Its deficiency is widespread, affecting nearly all crops, especially in lime, sandy, and peat soils, as well as soils with high levels of phosphorus and silicon. Zinc deficiency in plants leads to growth retardation, reduced farmer numbers, chlorosis, smaller leaves, premature maturity, spike sterility, and low-quality rice products. Beyond its agricultural significance, zinc is vital for cellular functions in all living organisms, including the human immune system. Insufficient zinc intake in humans can result in hair loss, memory issues, skin problems, and muscle weakness.
