POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY IN PLANTS: Symptoms & Treatment

Potassium deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in vegetable plants. It is often confused with under watering or a disease. Being able to identify, diagnose and treat the symptom is critical in producing a healthy plant and a nutrient dense crop. Plants like cucumbers are heavy potassium users so be on the watch for tell-tell signs. POTASSIUM DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS: The three most common symptoms are 1. white spots on the leaves, 2. yellowing on the edges of the leaves and 3. dried or scorched leaf edges. If you see these symptoms and you have ruled out other causes like wind, lack of watering, salinity due to over fertilizing, etc. then treat immediately with 1/2 oz of potassium per linear foot if growing in rows. Apply that between two rows of plants and water in. If you do not treat promptly your fruit and harvest will be affected. For example your cucumbers will curl, have a bell end and be bitter. In acidic soils use Potassium Choride or Muriate of Potash http://amzn.to/2aCl3SM which is typically available as 0-0-60 or 0-0-63. In alkaline soils use Potassium Sulfate 0-0-50 http://amzn.to/2aCkIiU.
