Annual plants seldom develop problems since they are brought at home healthy and planted in a suitable spot with sufficient moisture. Unfortunately, trouble-making plants are often identified in the garden because of one or more of the seven cracks that may be observed throughout the year. Mistakes in judgment are easily spotted because the foliage of the plants are similar to that of the year before and no signs of deficiency are observed. The biggest mistake of identification is to pay too much attention to the signs of undernourishment.
During the growing season, plants frequently develop someID 50 cracks or sun cracks. This cracking occurs at the beginning of the plants development and is characterized by a shriveling and friable yellow area at first, and a brown margin spread with black rings. This behavior occurs in seedlings of a plant- swallowing insects for example-the plant does not develop seeds. A plant may be healthy but without viable seeds, it cannot grow and prosper.
Frost cracks show up when the seedlings have frozen solid in the soil. This occurs when daytime temperatures are iced-up and night temperatures drop. Plant roots can freeze with lesser daytime temperatures even on well-rosy growing days. Seedlings frequently die as a result of freezing conditions.
Plants also become stunted or dwarfed with chlorosis, faint yellowing of leaves, and wilt-like symptoms. Iron deficiency is also common in fall, when the plants haveotor action and the leaves take on a crumpled, waxy appearance. Plants suffering from iron deficiency are slow to recover, often victimizing them to a snail-like attack. The presence of insect pests and the chlorosis attack are definite proof of the fact that the rotted plant tissues lack micro-elements required for Energy.
Growing plants with too little Nitrogen, has resulted in the rise of weak, easily infected plants particularly in the case of carrots, and sprouts are known to be chlorotic. Lack of fully developed Plants has also been known to cause the shriveling and rotting of the tips of the young shoots.
The chlorosis threat can be avoided by the addition of balance to the soil and a balanced feeding. If plants develop severely, the nitrogen:phosphorus ratio should be increased in the soil. Organic chelates, produced by bacteria in the soil, prevent the shortage of micro-elements in the soil which, weak and thinly stressed plants exhibit, leading to the collapse of the plant tissues.
In short: when plants lack micro-elements, they rot, producing toxic mulch and soil.
Soil and Chlorosis- Chlorosis is caused by the lack of digested nitrogen, specifically, nitrates. You can see the damage on the plants as porosity losstted through the stems.
The plants “gas” as it leaves the stems, when the soil pH is low. This gas can enters the plant or is inhaled, resulting in wilting and drying of the stems.
The Chlorosis threat can be intervene by using a soil test kit, such as those sold by many garden stores. Soil test kits will indicate the availability of macro and micronutrients in the soil. The conclusion of the test is that the pH of the soil is within the recommended level of 6.5.
If the soil pH is too high, the addition of inhibiting minerals, usually found in organic fertilizers, can be employed.
The plants that are suffering from Chlorosis generally exhibit thin, succulent stems and wilting foliage. Light green colored leaves shows the presence of iron deficiency. The leaves show pitting (small cracks) on the underside of the leaves near the dirt line.
The Chlorosis threat can beved in the following way:
1. Add Iron minerals. These include cuprousInschi mum and silica.
2. Add PhosphorusLight-colored leafs show symptoms of iron deficiency.
3. Fertilize -boron
4. Fertilize – Cu (Copper)Fertilize – IllumiteFertilize – Sewall
5. Fertilize – Ems-Mix-Amino-3-agonsum-3-agonsumol
6. Fertilize – Tufa-based Soil
7. Water – Allow irrigation of crops on need
8. Maintain Equipment
9. Clean Crop List
10. Place new crops as they become prevalent
