Heavy application may cause leaf burn; excess promotes flowering. Easily leached from soil. Phosphorus (P) Stunted, short internodes, purple or dark green foliage; old leaves die back; flowers and fruit poor. Slow growth, delayed maturity. Phosphorus is poorly available at high and low pH, in dry or cold soils, and in high-organic container soils. Apply according to soil test. Potassium (K) Older leaves scorched on margin; weak stem; fruit shrivelled, uneven ripening. Fairly easily leached, primarily on sandy soil. Fertilize according to soil test.
