Nitrogen deficiency vs. healthy plant made worse by

Low or high pH soils
Sandy or light soils (leaching)
Low organic matter
Drought conditions
High rainfall (leaching) or heavy irrigation
Addition or high levels of non-decomposed organic matter/manure (eg straw)
Fast growing crops

Nitrogen is important for

Component of enzymes, vitamins, chlorophyll and other cell constituents
Essential for crop growth, development and high yields
Necessary for carotene synthesis and therefore also for root colour
