Canna Mono Nitrogeno ( N )

It plays a major part in the production of proteins and in the energy metabolism, which is essential for the development of the plant. It can be used for nitrogen deficiency and as a supplementary nutrient to stimulate the growth. CANNA Nitrogen is also an essential nutritional element for improving the juice production.

The liquid can be directly absorbed by the plant and improves the vegetative growth.

Symptoms of a deficiency

Stalks will turn purple and leaves will yellow and finally fall off.

Development of a deficiency

• Quickly followed by larger leaves in the middle and top parts of the plant.
• The plant is a lighter colour as a whole.
• Larger leaves in the lower part of the plant turn light green. The leaf stalks of the smaller leaves now also turn purple. Typical vertical purple stripes appear in the stem.
• Leaves in the lower part of the plant turn more yellow and then become white. Finally, the leaves whither and fall off.
• The growth is visibly inhibited giving shorter plants, thinner stems, less leaf formation and smaller leaves.
• Further yellowing and whitening occurs in the top and middle parts of the plant.
• Leaves on growing points remain green longer but they are a lot less green than at normal nitrogen levels.
• Forced flowering starts and there is substantial leaf loss.
• Substantial reduction in yield.

Reasons for a deficiency

Deficiency can be caused by incorrect feeding or giving feeding that contains insufficient nutrient elements. Substrates that contain a lot of fresh organic material can cause nitrogen deficiency because micro-organisms bind the nitrogen. A lot of nitrogen can be bound, particularly in the first weeks; this is released later but it is generally too late.
