Plant Nutrient Deficiency

Plant nutrient deficiency occurs when a plant lacks essential minerals required for healthy growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium. This shortage can cause visible symptoms like yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or poor flowering. Deficiencies arise from poor soil quality, improper fertilization, or imbalanced pH levels that prevent nutrient absorption. Identifying these signs helps in correcting the issue through appropriate fertilization or soil amendments, ensuring the plant receives the nutrients it needs to develop strong roots, vibrant foliage, and overall vitality. Proper management maintains plant health and productivity.
