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
