Potash deficiency and excess causes and diagnosis

11/06/2021Posted on
Potash deficiency and excess causes and diagnosis

  • Reason for the deficiency of potassium:  Due to more alkaline soil, no or less use of organic manure and continuous intensive crop rotation, the deficiency of potash has started showing in the soil. Due to the deficiency of potash, the plant becomes more sensitive to environmental stress and seed and fruit size are not developed properly.

  • Excess of potassium: Due to excessive use of MOP and other potash fertilizers, there is an excess of potash in the soil. Due to its excess, the shape of the leaves becomes distorted.

  • Functions of Potash: Potash is an essential nutrient for crops, Potash plays a very important role in transporting synthesized sugars in plants to the fruits. Potash promotes the efficiency of natural nitrogen. Potash is essential for the manufacture of lycopene  for the red color of tomatoes. Potash increases the weight of the fruits.

Cause and diagnosis of phosphorus deficiency in soil

07/06/2021Posted on
Cause and diagnosis of phosphorus deficiency in soil

Phosphorus is the major nutrient that is found in soil, If the soil remains deficient, then its effect can be seen very easily on the crop. The symptoms of deficiency are first seen on young leaves or plants.

The reason for the deficiency  of phosphorus: There is deficiency of phosphorus in the soil which is rich in calcium. Due to this, the availability of phosphorus decreases even if the pH of the soil is low or high. Because in alkaline soil, the available phosphorus is less absorbed by roots . The main reason for its deficiency is that phosphorus particles are fixed in the soil and the plants are not able to absorb it. Also, if the soil moisture is low then this element is also deficient.

Its deficiency can be controlled in two ways

Organic measures: Under organic measures, organic manure which is considered a good source of phosphorus, it is very important to use it in different growth stages of the crop. Organic fertilizers like vermicompost, dung, bird’s beets and residues of old crops are rotten and added to the soil, then these crop residues are also a good source of phosphorus. Simultaneously phosphorus-rich microbes such as phosphate solubilizing bacteria.

Chemical measures: Phosphorus containing fertilizers like DAP, SSP, 12: 61: 00, NPK etc. can be used.

Cause and diagnosis of Nitrogen deficiency in soil

06/06/2021Posted on
Cause and diagnosis of Nitrogen deficiency in soil

  • During vegetative growth, crops need more nitrogen, if its availability is low at this stage then crop production is greatly affected.

  • Reason for nitrogen deficiency: Nitrogen deficiency is found in sandy soil and soil with good drainage, frequent rain or heavy irrigation also cause nitrogen deficiency in the soil 

  • Loss of Nitrogen Deficiency: Due to deficiency of nitrogen, the color of the plant becomes light green, growth of plants is less than normal and the number of  spikes is reduced. In cereal crops such as corn, paddy, wheat, etc., the lower leaves of the plant first start drying up. and gradually the top leaves also dry up, the color of the leaves is white and the leaves sometimes burn. Due to its excess, the yellowing of the leaves is seen in large amounts and due to this, the amount of other nutrients is also affected.

Two ways can be taken to compensate for nitrogen deficiency.

  • Organic measures: Under organic  measures, organic manure which is considered a good source of nitrogen is very important to use in different growth stages of the crop. It is very important to use organic fertilizers like vermicompost, manure. Nitrogenous bacteria like Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Rhizobium etc can reduce the nitrogen deficiency.

  • Chemical measures: Nitrogen-containing fertilizers such as Urea, NPK, Ammonium nitrate, Ammonium sulfate, 12:61:00, 13:00:45 can be used to overcome nitrogen deficiency and for good crop production.
