Potassium (K+) is an important macronutrient for plant growth and productivity. It fulfills important functions and it is widely included in fertilization management strategies to increase crop production. Although K+ is one of the most abundant elements of the earth crust, its availability to plants is usually limited leading to severe reduction in plant growth and yield. In plants, K+
At severe deficiency, the intercostal areas of the leaves may become chlorotic, too. Whitish, necrotic dots develop within the chlorotic areas. Reasons Potassium deficiency on the leaves. Excess salinity may cause similar symptoms, this can be controlled by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution. Some potassium deficiency symptoms may include: Chlorosis: May cause yellowing of leaves, the margin of the leaves may fall off, and also lead to shedding and defoliation of the leaves. Stunted growth: Potassium being an important growth catalyst, its deficiency or insufficient might lead to slow growth or poor developed roots and stems.
Fig. 7.1. ( a) Morphological changes induced by K deficiency; root agravitropism, lateral root inhibition and enhanced root formation are the major phenotypic responses of K deficiency. ( b) Physiological responses can be short term such as change in membrane potential, ROS generation and phytohormone responses.
A lack of potassium can produce yellow shoulders on tomato fruit and prevent fruit from ripening. Since too much potassium can prevent plants from absorbing nutrients, a soil test is needed to correct a potassium deficiency. 4. Magnesium deficiency shows as interveinal yellow beginning on the oldest leaves and progressing on to younger leaves

Several materials supply Mo and can be mixed with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers applied as foliar sprays or used as a seed treatment. Seed treatment is the most common way of correcting Mo deficiency because of the very small amounts of the nutrient required.
Potassium deficiency symptoms usually result from an insufficient K supply in the soil. Potassium deficiency may occur on acid sandy soils where leaching may be considerable. The supply of K to plants may be decreased by soils that have very high concentrations of Ca and Mg or by heavy application of N. Decreased K uptake is typical on some
Essential nutrients are those, without which plants cannot complete their life cycle, produce specific deficiency symptoms, and play a direct role in the metabolism of the plants. Potassium is the induce and characterize deficiency symptoms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on selected plants. During the course of this study, students will observe and characterize abnormal symptoms of plants lacking nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium. B. Materials and Method Plant Materials Three species of plants (corn, bean, leaf lettuce) will be dYWRQuF.
