Signs:
- Dark green leaves, brittle stems
- Slow growth, yellow edges (potassium lack)
- Low yields
How I Fix it:
1. Prune blocking leaves & side shoots
2. Spray foliar fertilizer (micronutrients)
3. Apply NPK (20:10:10) to supply potassium and phosphorus
4. Avoid fresh manure. Use composted manure
Pro Tip: If you must use raw manure, plant 60cm from raw manure to protect young roots.
