Make a Preliminary Diagnosis
• Discoloration• Nutrient deficiencies• Diseases
H bi id lt i j• Herbicide or salt injury

N Deficiency Symptoms
• Stunted growth
L b li ht• Leaves become light green or yellowish with the older, lower leaves yellowing firstyellowing first
• Nitrogen deficiency reduces seed per boll, i b t d b ll dincreases aborted bolls and decreases boll size and length of lint
• Excess N can extend vegetative growth and negatively affect fiber quality

P Deficiency Symptoms
• Symptoms not as clearly defined as other nutrients
• Stunted but normally have good, dark green color; can have delayed fruitingfruiting
• May include a purplish reddening
• Root system is reduced, smaller y ,leaves, spindly stalks and few secondary branches which result in fewer bolls and lower yields
• Phosphorus deficiency causes late maturity which allows more insect infestation and inferior quality of staple

K Deficiency Symptoms
• Marginal chlorosis and bronzing of lower leaves
• The leaf becomes brittle with buckling and crinkling between veins and cupping under of the leaf lobescupping under of the leaf lobes
• Eventually necrotic areas occur around the margins and between the veins
• Late-season deficiency can also occur with symptoms appearing first on the younger leaves in the upper third of theyounger leaves in the upper third of the canopy and can ultimately result in premature leaf shedding, early cut-out, poorly formed bolls, inferior lint quality,poorly formed bolls, inferior lint quality, and reduced yield

Mg Deficiency Symptoms
• Fairly common in parts of the South
• Magnesium deficiency appears firstMagnesium deficiency appears first on the lower leaves as a purplish red color with green veins
• Leaves fall off causing reduced• Leaves fall off causing reduced photosynthetic activity which lowers yields of both fiber and seed• Ca deficiencies in U.S. cotton are
rare when adequate pH is maintainedrare when adequate pH is maintained

• Yellowing of uppermost leaves

Micronutrient Deficiency Symptoms
• Most common micronutrient deficiency in cotton
B• Distorted, abnormal uppermost leaves
• Aborted flowers and boll shedding• Aborted flowers and boll shedding
• Dark rings on the petiole

Micronutrient Deficiency Symptoms
MnZn
• Interveinal chlorosis in younger y gleaves
• Zn deficiency can result in leathery, upturned leaves and bronzingupturned leaves and bronzing

Micronutrient Deficiency Symptoms
• General chlorosis or bleaching of the younger leaves or yellowing between theFe younger leaves or yellowing between the veins with the veins staying green
• Usually associated with calcareous, high pH soils in the Southwest U Shigh pH soils in the Southwest U.S.
• Cu, Mo, and Cl deficiencies are rare in U S cottonin U.S. cotton

Confirm the Diagnosis
• Plant Nutrient Analysis– Leaf or petiole testingLeaf or petiole testing– In-season evaluation of
nutrient sufficiency

Prevent Future Problems
• Soil Test RegularlyEvery 2 3 yrs– Every 2-3 yrs
– Annually for N where justified by research
