Symptoms
Mature leaves show marginal and interveinal chlorosis spreading over the entire leaf blade. Small, sunken, sometimes whitish spots occur. Necrotic margins and patches develop. Later on, these patches coalesce and the leaf becomes completely scorched.
Plant size is stunted.
Reasons
Potassium deficiency
Chili - Chlorosis

Chili - Deformation
Symptoms
Mature leaves show marginal and interveinal chlorosis spreading over the entire leaf blade. Small, sunken, sometimes whitish spots occur. Necrotic margins and patches develop. Later on, these patches coalesce and the leaf becomes completely scorched.
Leaf blades are crumpled and vault down. Plant size is stunted.

Leaf blades are crumpled and vault down. Plant size is stunted.
Reasons
Severe potassium deficiency
Potassium deficiency made worse by
Acidic soils (low pH)
Sandy or light soils (leaching)
Drought conditions
High rainfall (leaching)
or heavy irrigation
Heavy clay (illite) soils
Soils with low K reserves
Magnesium rich soils
Potassium is important for
Promotes generative growth
Yara recommended fertilizers for Potassium

Apply 5 grams per hill at transplanting.
3-45 days after transplanting, apply 5-10 grams per hill. Repeat application after every 7 days thereafter.
