t; Now is a ' good time to
check your crops for hunger
signs says Perquimans Coun
ty Extension Chairman, v f, ;
If your crops are showing
deficiency - symptoms there
may still be time to correct
the deficiency this year; if it's
too late to help this year's
crop at least you will have
ample time to take steps to
assure that the deficiency is
corrected before planting an
other crop.
Growing plants show signs
of hunger in many different
ways. The plants "i may ap
pear stunted or show other
abnormal r growth such " as
shortening of the internode
Plants may also show ab
normal coloring such as yel
lowing of all or certain por
tions of the leaves. Under
conditions of severe nutrient
deficiency the plants may
die completely.
Unfortunately, other causes
of poor growth are often
confused with nutrient defi
ciences. Poor drainage, in
sect damage and many other
factors which interfere with
the plant's ability to take tip
plant food can show up as
deficiency signs even though
the level of available nutri
ents in the soil may be ade
quate. The best way to de
termine the levels of plant
food available in the soil is
to have the soil tested.
Crop yields are reduced in
many cases by nutrient de
ficiencies that are not severe
enough to show up visually
reminds Mr. Thompson. This
is called "hidden ,; hunger.''
The best way to gutrd
against .this is to have your
soil tested well in advanced
planting time. Doing this
will enable you to lime" your
soils to the desired level and
Will also tell you the nutri
ent levels' in the soil so you
can plan your fertility pro
gram more wisely and keep
the chances of "j.idJjn l.-n-ger"
