Wilted
In the young (upper) leaves, do you notice that the growing point is distorted/discoloured, or that the overall leaves are chlorotic (yellowing), or that the leaves are wilted/distorted? Select one.
Your crop is Copper deficient
- Copper activates enzymes and catalyzes reactions in several processes
- Copper is necessary to chlorophyll formation and therefore essential for photosynthesis and respiration
- Many vegetable crops show Cu hunger, with leaves that lose turgor and develop a bluish-green shade before becoming chlorotic and curling
- Important in the role of pollination of self-pollinating crops such as wheat and barley
- Form used by plants: Cu+ or Cu+2
