Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I):Translocation of sugars is increased in K deficient plants
Statement (II):Potassium is taken by crops as chelates from the soil solution
In light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Macronutrient cations like \( \text{K}^+ \), \( \text{Ca}^{2+} \), and \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) are absorbed as free hydrated ions.
Only micronutrient transition metals are typically absorbed or applied as organic chelates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
