Symptoms of Nitrogen Deficiency in Crops
Identifying nitrogen deficiency early can help mitigate its adverse effects. Common symptoms include:
• Yellowing of Leaves (Chlorosis): Older leaves turn yellow due to reduced chlorophyll content.
• Stunted Growth: Plants exhibit poor growth and smaller leaves.
• Reduced Tillering: In crops like wheat and rice, nitrogen deficiency can lead to fewer tillers.
• Poor Yield: Low nitrogen availability directly impacts fruit and grain production
