Question

Element used to protect tomato from cracking is

• A. Sulphur
• B. Magnesium
• C. Boron
• D. Manganese

Hint:

Boron improves cell wall strength in tomatoes, preventing fruit cracking.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants and plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of cell walls. Adequate boron levels help prevent cracking in tomatoes by improving fruit firmness and reducing susceptibility to cracking during growth and maturation.
- Sulphur, magnesium, and manganese have other important functions but are not primarily involved in preventing tomato cracking.
