Manganese

Grey speck spots leaves often drop at the base lighter green than normal.

Copper

Chlorotic leaves, leaf curl and twist at the tips and margins. The heads bleached

Zinc

Light yellow stripes along with veins of leaf blade under acute condition-veinally chlorosis and cessation of growth of terminal bud. Older leaves may show slight chlorosis.

Sulphur

Plants showing paling/yellowing of leaves. Yellowing spreads from the base to the apex. Growth of plants is reduced. The size of capitulum is severely restricted. Inflorescence may remain covered within the bracts. Maturity of flowers is delayed.

Potassium

Deficiency symptoms appear on old leaves whilst young leaves remain green and healthy, Chlorosis of old leaves (early stages). Marginal chlorosis with Yellow-Pale green leaves & puckering of the leaves Necrosis on older leaves & interveinal necrosis. The stem

Phosphorus

Interveinal Cholorsis Yellow – Pale green leaves, Interveinal necrosis stems: Short & Thin Stems. Bent petioles (resulting in leaves pointing downwards), Reproductive stage symptoms expressed: Delayed matureity, Fewer of smaller mature heads which set few grai

Nitrogen

Chlorosis of young leaves & old leaves (early stages), Marginal Chlorosis, Whole leaf Chlorosis Yellow-Pale green Death of whole leaf, Chlorosis followed by death. Thin stems, spindly stems pale green stems are seen fewer or smaller mature heads. Sunflower res

Manganese

Deficiency symptoms appear in the form of interveinal chlorotic mottling of apical part of the second set of leaves. The entire laminae become severely mottled and the interveinal chlorotic areas develop light brown irregular necrotic patches. These patches, w

Magnesium

Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms : Yellowing of older leaves; interveinal chlorosis Correction Measure : Foliar spray of MgSO4@1-2% Deficiency Symptoms : Yellowing of older leaves; interveinal chlorosis Foliar spray of MgSO4@1-2%

Iron

Iron Deficiency Symptoms: Yellowing of young leaves; interveinal chlorosis Correction Measure : Foliar spray of FeSO4@0.5% Deficiency Symptoms: Yellowing of young leaves; interveinal chlorosis Foliar spray of FeSO4@0.5%

Copper

Deficiency symptoms appear as interveional chlorosis of the upper half of the old leaves starting from the tip of the leaf. Chlorosis is generally restricted to the apical half of the lamina. Chlorotic areas later develop dark brown necrotic scorching, which s

Calcium

Small distorted leaves near branch tips, and terminal buds blacken and fail to continue to develop and reduced the seed germination.

Boron

Young and middle leaves of plants develop small chlorotic patches. Chlorotic patches become more pronounced and develop orange coloured necrotic areas in young leaves. Shoot apex of plants may turn necrotic and cease to grow. Young leaves show severe curling a

Zinc

Light greening or yellowing first appears in younger leaves followed by pitting, collapse and drying of interveinal tissue, leaving the veins green

Deficiency Symptoms :

Plants have an off-color or yellowish-green appearance like N deficiency the youngest leaves are more chlorotic. Stalks short thin and leaf area reduced.

Potassium

Deficiency Symptoms : Depressed growth Yellowing and marginal drying of older leaves and Development of slender stalks. Orange, yellow colour appears in the older lower leaves which develop numerous chlorotic spots that later become brown with dead centre resu

Phosphorus

Deficiency Symptoms : Colour of the leaves in greenish blue or red - purple discolouration on tips and margins, narrow and somewhat reduce in length. Reduction in length of sugarcane stalks, diameters of which taper rapidly at growing points. Poor or no tiller

Nitrogen

Soil application of N fertilizer or Foliar spray of Urea 1-2% twice at weekly interval.

Molybedenum

Molybedenum Deficiency Symptoms : Resembles S deficiency. Pitting develops along the veins. Correction Measure : Foliar spray of sodium molybdate@2mg/litre Deficiency Symptoms : Resembles S deficiency. Pitting develops along the veins. Foliar spray of sodium m

Manganese

A chlorosis in young leaves increases to a uniform yellow a gray metallic purplish luster develops on the appear surface. Upward curving of blade margins.

Magnesium

Young leaves are light green or yellowish-green with smaller chlorotic spots that become dark brown. Rusty or freckled appearance spotting pronounced on the older leaves. Stalks show internal browning.

Iron

Deficiency Symptoms : Young leaves where pale stripes with scanty chlorophyll content occur between parallel lines. Leaves turn completely white, even in the veins and midribs. Restricted Root growth. stunted appearance with constricted internodes Click to vie

Copper

Symptoms occur in young leaves; leaves become yellow in color with smaller in size

Calcium

Minute chlorotic spots with dead centers which later become dark reddish-brown. Plants weak with thin stalks and soft rid. Growth is retarded.

Zinc

Zinc deficiency of soybeans is not common. The leaves become chlorotic, then rusty brown in color. The veins remain green. The chlorosis is uniform over the leaf and not concentrated initially on the edges as occurs with deficiencies such as K.

Sulphur

Foliar spraying of Calsium Sulphate 0.5-1.0 % can control the deficiency .

Potassium

Deficiency in early growth stages shows up as irregular mottling around the edges of leaves. These chlorotic areas increase as deficiency becomes more severe, then they merge so that chlorosis occurs around the edges of the leaf. As deficiency becomes more sev

Nitrogen

Deficiency Symptoms : Growth will be stunted and leaves a very pale green. Nitrogen deficiency occurs because the soybean roots are not nodulated or nodules are not effective because of poor soil fertility or low levels of Mo. Foliar spray Urea 1% at fortnight

Manganese

Leaves become chlorotic in interveinal areas while the veins remain green. Symptoms differ from Fe where the veins also become chlorotic. Whole leaves, veins excepted, become pale green and pale yellow. Brown spots and necrotic areas develop on lower leaves as

Magnesium

In early stages of deficiency the areas between the veins become yellow. These areas later turn deep yellow and rusty specks and necrotic blotches may appear between the veins and around the edges of the leaves. In later stages, Mg deficiency gives the appeara
