Iodine is an essential element for the proper development of almost all plants, so it is important to ensure that there is enough of it.
However, sometimes the deficiency of the substance is noticed too late.
For this reason, landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", believes that it is necessary to know about the main signs of iodine deficiency.
What signs should not be ignored?
Fruits and ovaries
If you notice that the ovaries do not want to form or fall off, then we may be talking about a significant lack of iodine. If the deficiency has already arisen at the stage of fruit formation, then they begin to rot and fall off ahead of time.
Peppers with tomatoes
It is very easy to determine the deficiency in these crops. Tomatoes and peppers grow noticeably smaller than they could. It is also worth noting that their coloring looks too pale and faded.
Green
The green mass looks extremely bad: it is pale, of poor quality and extremely rare. Therefore, there is no point in wasting time: it is better to carry out timely fertilizing.
Development
Iodine deficiency generally has a destructive effect on plant development. They begin to form sluggishly and reluctantly.
Therefore, you should always use complex fertilizers that contain iodine.
