    Nutrient Deficiency

    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes the visual deficiency symptoms of various nutrients in plants. Nitrogen deficiency appears as chlorosis starting with older leaves and reddening. Phosphorus deficiency looks like dark green foliage with reddening or purpling of leaves. Potassium deficiency shows necrotic spots or marginal burn on older leaves and red pigment or interveinal chlorosis on younger leaves. Calcium deficiency kills growing points in fruits and causes tip burn in leaves.

    NUTRIENT

    DEFICIENCY
    NITROGEN
    Chlorosis of the whole plant often
    with reddening. Older leaves usually
    affected first.

    PHOSPHORUS
    Dark green foliage. Reddening or
    purpling of leaves or petioles (similar
    to cold effects)
    POTASSIUM
    Older leaves may show necrotic spots or
    marginal burn; younger leaves may develop
    red pigment or become interveinal chlorotic
    and show a shiny surface.
    CALCIUM
    Growing point dies in fruit crops,
    disorders of fruits (ex. Bitter pit in pome
    fruit, blossom end rot in tomato and
    pepper). In leaf crops, disorders such as tip
    burn.
    MAGNESIUM
    Marginal or interveinal chlorosis often
    quite strongly colored. Green area of leaf
    may from an “arrowhead” in woody plants.
    Strong reddening may border the chlorotic
    zone. Usually on older tissue first.
    SULFUR
    Chlorosis of the whole plant, often
    younger leaves affected first.
    COPPER
    Death of young leaves, chlorosis,
    failure of fertilization and fruit set (S-
    shape shoot growth and fruit
    gumming in citrus)
    ZINC
    Little leaf, resetting, chlorotic
    mottle in less severe cases
    MANGANESE
    Interveinal chlorosis; when severe,
    necrotic spots or streaks may form.
    Often occurs on middle leaves.
    IRON
    Interveinal chlorosis which in
    severe cases may mean total
    bleaching of young foliage followed
    by necrosis. Occurs first on young
    leaves
    BORON
    Death of growing points. Auxiliary
    buds may burst giving a “witches
    broom” effect. Some species (grapes)
    may show leaf distortion
    characteristics of impaired
    metabolism for auxin. Fruit may be
    distorted or show woody pits or
    cracking of the surface. Petiole
    cracking in celery and hollowness in
    some root vegetable species.
    MOLYBDENUM
    In legumes, general paleness. In non-
    legumes, mottled pale appearance,
    marginal burn of mature leaves (rack melon,
    maize, sunflower). Whiptail in cauliflower.
    CHLORIDE
    Leaf margins are scorched and
    abscission is excessive. Leaf/leaflet size is
    reduced and may appear to be thickened.
    Overall plant growth is reduced. Chloride
    accumulation is higher in older tissue than in
    newly matured leaves. In conifers, the early
    symptoms are a yellow mottling of the
    needles, followed by the death of the
    affected needles.
    NICKEL
    Minor nickel deficiency displays no
    visual symptoms, but can reduce
    growth and yield of plants. Significant
    nickel deficiency will display visual
    symptoms typically in the old leaves
    of the plants as nickel is a mobile
    element. Deficiency symptoms in
    legumes are exhibited as whole leaf
    chlorosis along with necrotic leaf tips
    (caused by accumulation of toxic
    levels of urea).
