Lack of elements is a common problem in strawberry planting.

Once an element is lacking, strawberry plants will show the corresponding element deficiency disease shape, which will directly lead to the decrease of strawberry yield and quality.

nitrogen element

nutritional function

nitrogen is one of the essential nutrients for strawberry growth. It is an integral part of every living cell and the main component of protein, which can promote cell division and growth. Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B contain nitrogen-containing compounds, which are also components of vitamins and energy systems in plants, and have obvious effects on plant growth and development.

symptoms of nitrogen deficiency

under nitrogen deficiency, the growth is slow, the plants are short, the leaves are green and yellow, the differentiation of flower buds is delayed, the number of flower buds is reduced, the fruit is small, there are few or no fruit sets, the yield is low and the quality is poor.

When strawberry plants begin to lack nitrogen, the color of the leaves in the peak growth period will gradually fade to light green, and with the increasing symptoms of nitrogen deficiency, the leaves will turn yellow and some of them will be scorched.
