Wilted, twisted leaves/pigtailing
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
