Synopsis Age old saying goes prevention is better than cure. And for this to happen, proper diagnosis is key. There is no single gateway of identifying nutritional disorders in soil, plant continuum. While there can be nutrients for which unique colour is manifested on the foliage, each time plant goes hungry for the nutrient. However, there are several nutrients, which will play hide and seek role in visual judgements of its deficiencies on the foliage of the leaves. The book written in a very simple language will enable the readers in diagnosing properly first the disorders and then will lead to most scientific cure of  the same in soil-plant system. Several photos will add in proper diagnosis as some photos are so intense in their visual interpretations that an average reader/user will also be able to diagnose properly the deficiency of nutrients. This of course follows deliberations on how climate influences changes in nutrient fluxes inside a soil - plant system. It is a common anecdote in India in Hindi that Sawan Me Sab Hara Hai. This is true as when dry spells looms large, leaves become yellow in want of nutrients and go droopy and finally drops.
