HUNGER SIGNS IN PLANTS* 
NITROGEN DEFICIENCY: ®1. Sickly yellowish green color 
®2. Distinctly slow, dwarfed growth ®3. Drying up or firing 
of leaves—starting at bottom of plants, proceeding upward. 
In corn, grains and grasses, firing starts at tips of bottom 
leaves, proceeds down center or along the midrib. 
PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY: ®1. Purplish leaves, stems 
and branches ®2. Slow growth and maturity @3. Small, 
slender stalk in case of corn. In small grains, lack of stool- 
ing ®4. Low yields of grain, fruit and seed. 
POTASH DEFICIENCY: ®1. Mottling, spotting, streaking or 
curling of leaves, starting on the lower levels ®2. Lower 
leaves scorched or burned on margins and tips. These dead 
areas may fall out, leaving ragged edges. In corn, grains 
and grasses, firing starts at tip of leaf, proceeds down from 
edge, usually leaving midrib green ®3. Premature loss of 
leaves ®4, Plants falling down prior to maturity, due to 
poor root development. 
DEFICIENCY OF OTHER ELEMENTS: Strongly farmed soils 
become low on calcium, sulfur, magnesium and other min- 
erals. Good practice is to keep in close touch with local 
County Agent who receives releases from headquarters, 
and will gladly share such information with inquirers. 
WHAT ABOUT 2,4-D FOR WEEDS? 
Very effective on many weeds, when applied properly at 
recommended rates. Retreatment sometimes needed. New 
facts are being learned right along. Suggest you keep in 
close touch with your state’s extension service.
