  2. Physiological plant disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_plant_disorder

    Symptoms will often appear overnight, affecting many types of plants. Leaves and stems may turn black, and buds and flowers may be discoloured, and frosted blooms may not produce fruit. Many annual plants, or plants grown in frost free areas, can suffer from damage when the air temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius).

  3. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    Plant nutrition is a difficult subject to understand completely, partially because of the variation between different plants and even between different species or individuals of a given clone. Elements present at low levels may cause deficiency symptoms, and toxicity is possible at levels that are too high.

  4. Potassium deficiency (plants) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_deficiency_(plants)

    Plant growth, root development, and seed and fruit development are usually reduced in potassium-deficient plants. Often, potassium deficiency symptoms first appear on older (lower) leaves because potassium is a mobile nutrient, meaning that a plant can allocate potassium to younger leaves when it is K deficient. [3]

  5. Potassium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_in_biology

    The sodium–potassium pump a critical enzyme for regulating sodium and potassium levels in cells. Potassium is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells, while having a major role in maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. [1] [2] Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells and is thus present in all plant and ...

  6. Micronutrient deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronutrient_deficiency

    Micronutrient deficiency is defined as the sustained insufficient supply of vitamins and minerals needed for growth and development, as well as to maintain optimal health. Since some of these compounds are considered essentials (we need to obtain them from the diet), micronutrient deficiencies are often the result of an inadequate intake.

  7. Sodium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_in_biology

    The sodium–potassium pump, a critical enzyme for regulating sodium and potassium levels in cells. Sodium ions (Na +) are necessary in small amounts for some types of plants, [1] but sodium as a nutrient is more generally needed in larger amounts [1] by animals, due to their use of it for generation of nerve impulses and for maintenance of electrolyte balance and fluid balance.

  8. Chlorosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorosis

    Like many other plants, grape vines are susceptible to chlorosis, and symptoms of iron deficiency tend to be common on soils rich in limestone. In the wake of The Great French Wine Blight , when European Vitis vinifera were affected by Phylloxera , chlorosis became a greater problem in viticulture .

  9. Manganese deficiency (plant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese_deficiency_(plant)

    Effects of manganese deficiency on a rose plant. Manganese deficiency can be easy to spot in plants because, much like Magnesium deficiency (agriculture), the leaves start to turn yellow and undergo interveinal chlorosis. The difference between these two is that the younger leaves near the top of the plant show symptoms first because manganese ...
