Defender K - 1 Litre

Symptoms of deficiency: Chlorosis is evident as visible green or blue-greenish areas on older leaves. Potassium deficient plants wilt on sunny days (suffer hydric stress). Internodes get shorter and young leaves growth is inhibited.

– Role of potassium (K): Along with nitrogen and phosphor, potassium isessential for plants. High concentrations of this element are principally found in young tissues, in which it plays an important role in regulating the functions of the plant: potassium improves the resistance against t fungal diseases, interferes with photosynthesis and sugar synthesis, activates drought resistance and plays an important role in transpiration.

– Effects on crops: a deficiency of potassium in plantations reduces efficient water usage, resulting in the loss of turgid leaves. Under hydric stress, the tissues reduce their growth rate, causing flabby leaves and smaller plants
