Here are the signs to keep an eye on! Nitrogen toxicity is commonly caused due to the presence of excessive nitrogen in the soil and consistent over-fertilization. It is a common condition and can be detected easily by closely monitoring the plant’s appearance and growth. 1. Abnormal Dark Green Foliage If your foliage starts showing darker shades than usual, there are high chances of nitrogen concentration around the root ball. 2. Excessive Vegetative Production Don’t let lush overgrowing leaves fool you, as excessive foliage production is the clearest sign of nitrogen toxicity in most plants. If it is a flowering plant, then it won’t bloom at all, if it’s a herb it won’t be that flavorful. 3. Yellowing of Leaves and Turned Down Tips Excessive nitrogen takes away the water from the soil, leaving the salt behind, which gives the plant a burnt look with yellow foliage and turned down clawed tips. 4. Thin, Tall, and Lanky Growth Plants having too much nitrogen will grow tall and spindly. Foliage shows lanky growth instead of a fuller appearance, with the wild growing pattern. 5. Plants Get Prone to Pests, Diseases, and Frost Damage Study says excessive nitrogen leads to salt build-up in the soil, thus making the plants weak and susceptible to frost damage and a heck of diseases. Also, such plants face more pest infestation. 6. Spots on the Leaves Nitrogen toxicity leads to nutrient burn, which stresses out the plant. To compensate for the condition, the plant tends to absorb more water than needed, worsening the toxicity. Prolonged conditions lead to spots on foliage hence killing the plant. How to Fix Nitrogen Toxicity in Plants? If possible, get an NPK soil tester kit to check out the nitrogen levels in the soil. Add organic matter to the soil, such as autumn leaves, straw, and coconut coir. The organisms present in the soil use nitrogen to break down these particles that, in turn, release nitrogen in a manageable form. Flush the excess nitrogen from the soil using water with a neutral pH. Start using low nitrogen fertilizer until the excess nitrogen problem is subsided. How Long Does It Take to Recover? It takes at least a week to treat nitrogen toxicity in most plants. However, the time depends on the level of the nutrient concentration in the medium. Give your plant some time to recover and rejuvenate after the undesirable condition. Thanks for watching! Hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe for more interesting videos.
