nitrogen in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nitrogen is crucial for successful potato growth. It regulates leaf and canopy development and prolongs haulm growth. Nitrogen supplied to the potato crop can keep determinate varieties growing and delay senescence.<\/p>\n<p>It also plays an important role in tuber formation, size, and overall yield, by maintaining canopy growth. Adequate nitrogen during the early stages of potato growth promotes the development of a robust root system and encourages strong vegetative growth, which ultimately leads to larger and more numerous tubers.<\/p>\n<p>Nitrogen can influence tuber quality factors such as starch content, dry matter content and specific gravity, so a thorough understanding of specific crop requirements is vital, especially as it also plays a role in enhancing foliar health and disease resistance. While excessive nitrogen can lead to lush foliage that is more susceptible to certain diseases and pests, balanced nitrogen application can promote healthy foliage and improve the plant&#8217;s ability to withstand environmental stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying nitrogen deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lack of nitrogen in potatoes can cause chlorosis and lead to stunted growth Visual symptoms include a a general yellowing or chlorosis of the lower leaves, starting from the tips and margins and progressing inward between the veins. This yellowing typically begins with older leaves first and may spread to younger leaves as the deficiency worsens. Nitrogen deficiency can lead to thinner, weaker stems that are more prone to lodging or bending under wind or rain and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases due to weakened defences and reduced vigour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilising nitrogen in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nitrogen can be applied to the potato crop during planting either within the <a

of phosphorus in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Phosphorus promotes potato root formation, aiding establishment. Phosphorus improves early establishment, higher tuber numbers and bulking and is particularly important during the tuberization phase in potato plants.<\/p>\n<p>It promotes the formation and development of tubers, influencing tuber size, number and overall yield potential. Adequate phosphorus availability during tuber initiation and bulking stages is crucial for maximizing tuber yield and quality in potato crops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying phosphorus deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Phosphorus deficiency results in a poor rooting structure, and can be visually identified by stunted growth, also displaying dull, dark green leaves. As phosphorus deficiency progresses, potato plants may develop purple or reddish pigmentation on the leaves, stems and petioles. This purpling is often more pronounced on the undersides of leaves and in younger tissues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilising phosphorus in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Phosphorus can be applied to potatoes

of potassium in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Potassium influences tuber formation, water uptake and carbohydrate transport. The correct form of potassium applied to the potato crop can help raise dry matter and high rates can reduce dry matter content and the risk of bruising.<\/p>\n<p>The effect on tuber dry matter is due to the role potassium plays in regulating water uptake and transport within potato plants. It helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells, which is essential for cell expansion, leaf turgidity and overall plant hydration.<\/p>\n<p>Adequate potassium levels ensure proper water balance, which is critical for withstanding drought stress and maintaining optimal growth and yield. As well as important roles in photosynthesis, potassium enhances the plant&#8217;s resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses, including diseases, pests and environmental stresses, such as heat and drought.<\/p>\n<p>It strengthens cell walls, activates defence mechanisms and improves the plant&#8217;s ability to withstand adverse conditions. Proper potassium nutrition contributes to enhanced resilience and productivity in potato crops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying potassium deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Potassium deficiency in potatoes can be visually identified as yellowing around the edges and tips of lower leaves and if uncorrected, leads to the death of leaf margins. Potassium deficiency can accelerate leaf senescence, leading to premature yellowing and shedding of older leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Potassium-deficient potato plants may be more susceptible to pest infestations and diseases due to weakened defences and reduced vigour so pests such as aphids and diseases such as blight may have a more significant impact on potassium-stressed potato crops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilising potassium in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Potassium can be applied to potatoes utilising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/multiflo\/\">Multiflo<\/a> liquid NPKS fertilisers, often in partnership with straight potash sources applied separately to the soil.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/folex-k-39\/\"><strong>Folex K39<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Foliar potassium can be applied to the crop utilising Folex K39.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full bg-grey-lighter py-7.5 lg:py-24 px-7.5 related-products\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex w-full max-w-[1050px] mx-auto justify-between flex-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"h6 uppercase !mb-10 w-full\"><\/h6>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"!h-auto mb-5 lg:mb-0 w-full lg:w-[calc(33%-20px)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/folex-k-39\/\" class=\"flex flex-col justify-end  !mb-0 product-card origin-center scale-100 hover:scale-[98%] hover:brightness-90 transition-all duration-50 !no-underline\">\n\n\t<span class=\"block text-xs w-full lg:text-[10px] xl:text-xs text-center uppercase tracking-wide text-white font-semibold py-2.5 min-h-[36px] bg-primary\">Foliar N&amp;K Nutrition<\/span>\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-center text-center bg-white h-full \">\n\t\t<div class=\"px-6 relative w-full\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"h6 mt-7.5 md:mt-8 !mb-24\">Folex K 39<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"excerpt children:text-13px children:leading-[22px] px-6 absolute top-[80px] left-1\/2 w-full -translate-x-1\/2 line-clamp-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Contains potassium and nitrogen to supply N&amp;K and remedy deficiency.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-K-39-01.jpg\" class=\"h-full object-contain\" alt=\"Folex K 39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-K-39-01.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-K-39-01-272x300.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t<\/div>\n<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"nutrient-modals max-h-[95vh] h-full hidden overflow-y-auto content-scroll\" data-nutrient-modal=\"magnesium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap justify-between !p-7.5 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full lg:w-[calc(50%-50px)] xl:w-[calc(50%-90px)] relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sticky w-full top-[30px] bottom-[30px] h-[300px] lg:h-[calc(80vh-60px)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute top-1\/2 -translate-y-1\/2 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 flex flex-wrap justify-center max-w-[115px] md:max-w-[150px] w-full h-[115px] md:h-[150px] bg-[#1FB25A]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full h-full relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-0 text-[54px] font-bold w-full text-center absolute top-1\/2 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 -translate-y-full text-white\">Mg<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-0 text-sm font-semibold w-full text-center absolute bottom-1\/4 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 translate-y-1\/2 text-white\">Magnesium<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hidden lg:block absolute bottom-0 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-button-type='primary'  href=\"javascript:void(0);\" target='_self' rel='noreferrer' class='btn scroll-to-products text-nowrap uppercase lg:px-4 xl:px-6'>View Products for Magnesium<i class='icon-chevron-right text-[9px]'><\/i><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full lg:w-1\/2 pt-7.5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lg:mr-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h1 !mb-4\">Magnesium<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-[20px] mb-7 md:text-2xl md:mb-10\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The role of magnesium in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Due to it\u2019s central role in the functioning of chlorophyll, magnesium nutrition supports optimal photosynthetic rates, leading to improved growth, yield, and tuber quality in potatoes. Magnesium is also involved in the uptake and translocation of other essential nutrients within potato plants.<\/p>\n<p>It helps regulate the movement of nutrients across cell membranes, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake from the soil and distribution to various plant tissues. Adequate magnesium levels therefore optimise nutrient utilisation and overall plant health and also ensures efficient movement of sugars from the leaves to the tubers, helping produce larger, more uniform tubers with higher dry matter content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying magnesium deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Magnesium deficiency in potatoes can be visually identified by interveinal chlorosis, where the tissue between the veins of the potato leaves turns yellow or even white, while the veins remain green. This chlorosis typically starts at the leaf margins and progresses inward between the veins. In severe cases, necrotic spots or lesions may develop on the affected potato leaves.<\/p>\n<p>These necrotic areas may appear brown or black and can lead to tissue death and premature leaf drop.

calcium in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calcium is a key nutrient in potato production and deficiency can result in classic symptoms of internal rust spot (IRS). Calcium is key for cell strength, the maintenance of cell walls and tuber development. Positive management of calcium availability improves skin finish, reduces the risk of IRS and growth cracking.<\/p>\n<p>Calcium also plays a crucial role in enhancing the resistance of potato plants to various diseases, particularly those caused by pathogens such as fungi and bacteria. Adequate calcium levels strengthen cell walls and promote the formation of physical barriers that impede pathogen invasion and colonization.<\/p>\n<p>Calcium also activates defence mechanisms within potato plants, such as the production of antimicrobial compounds and the induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which enhances plant immunity against pathogens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying calcium deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calcium-deficient potato leaves may exhibit curling or cupping of the leaf margins. This distortion is often more pronounced in younger leaves and can contribute to reduced leaf surface area and reduced photosynthetic activity.<\/p>\n<p>In severe cases of calcium deficiency, potato leaves may exhibit dieback or necrosis at the tips. This can result in a &#8220;firing&#8221; appearance, where the leaf tips turn brown and dry out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilising calcium in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/folex-caleba\/\"><strong>Folex Caleba <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Foliar liquid calcium can be applied to the crop via the calcium nitrate formulation Folex Caleba.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full bg-grey-lighter py-7.5 lg:py-24 px-7.5 related-products\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex w-full max-w-[1050px] mx-auto justify-between flex-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"h6 uppercase !mb-10 w-full\"><\/h6>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"!h-auto mb-5 lg:mb-0 w-full lg:w-[calc(33%-20px)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/folex-caleba\/\" class=\"flex flex-col justify-end  !mb-0 product-card origin-center scale-100 hover:scale-[98%] hover:brightness-90 transition-all duration-50 !no-underline\">\n\n\t<span class=\"block text-xs w-full lg:text-[10px] xl:text-xs text-center uppercase tracking-wide text-white font-semibold py-2.5 min-h-[36px] bg-primary\">Improving Calcium Levels<\/span>\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col items-center text-center bg-white h-full \">\n\t\t<div class=\"px-6 relative w-full\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"h6 mt-7.5 md:mt-8 !mb-24\">Folex Caleba<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"excerpt children:text-13px children:leading-[22px] px-6 absolute top-[80px] left-1\/2 w-full -translate-x-1\/2 line-clamp-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Folex Caleba improves calcium levels of growing crops<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-Caleba-01.jpg\" class=\"h-full object-contain\" alt=\"Folex Caleba\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-Caleba-01.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/Folex-Caleba-01-272x300.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/>\t<\/div>\n<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"nutrient-modals max-h-[95vh] h-full hidden overflow-y-auto content-scroll\" data-nutrient-modal=\"zinc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap justify-between !p-7.5 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full lg:w-[calc(50%-50px)] xl:w-[calc(50%-90px)] relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sticky w-full top-[30px] bottom-[30px] h-[300px] lg:h-[calc(80vh-60px)]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute top-1\/2 -translate-y-1\/2 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 flex flex-wrap justify-center max-w-[115px] md:max-w-[150px] w-full h-[115px] md:h-[150px] bg-[#1FB25A]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full h-full relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-0 text-[54px] font-bold w-full text-center absolute top-1\/2 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 -translate-y-full text-white\">Zn<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-0 text-sm font-semibold w-full text-center absolute bottom-1\/4 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2 translate-y-1\/2 text-white\">Zinc<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hidden lg:block absolute bottom-0 left-1\/2 -translate-x-1\/2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-button-type='primary'  href=\"javascript:void(0);\" target='_self' rel='noreferrer' class='btn scroll-to-products text-nowrap uppercase lg:px-4 xl:px-6'>View Products for Zinc<i class='icon-chevron-right text-[9px]'><\/i><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full lg:w-1\/2 pt-7.5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lg:mr-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"h1 !mb-4\">Zinc<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-[20px] mb-7 md:text-2xl md:mb-10\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The role of zinc in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zinc in potatoes is responsible for root formation and cell strength. It contributes towards seed vigour, skin finish and helps to prevent growth disorders. plays a major role in the structure and function of the integumentary system, affecting skin elasticity, wound healing and disease suppression.<\/p>\n<p>Zinc stress reduces root development, nutrient recovery and water uptake, leading to low seed or fruit set and slow accumulation of carbohydrate. Low zinc status is often associated high Phosphorous levels, increased drought stress, disease pressure and is worse on alkaline soils and in cold, wet growing conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identifying zinc deficiency in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the characteristic symptoms of zinc deficiency is interveinal chlorosis, where the tissue between the veins of potato leaves turns yellow or even white, while the veins themselves remain green. This chlorosis typically starts at the leaf base and progresses upward between the veins.<\/p>\n<p>In severe cases of zinc deficiency, necrotic spots or lesions may develop on the affected potato leaves. These necrotic areas may appear brown or black and can lead to tissue death and premature leaf loss. Zinc-deficient potato leaves may exhibit abnormal leaf morphology, including wrinkling, cupping, or distortion of the leaf surface. Leaves may appear twisted or misshapen, particularly in younger tissues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Utilising zinc in potatoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omex.com\/uk\/products\/zynergy\/\"><strong>Zynergy <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Zynergy is a plant health promoted formulated with copper and zinc.
