Lämmastikurikaste

Lämmastikurikaste refers to a condition in plants where there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil or within the plant tissues. This can occur due to various factors, including over-fertilization with nitrogen-rich fertilizers, intense decomposition of organic matter, or in certain naturally nitrogen-rich environments. While nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, its excessive availability can lead to an imbalance, disrupting normal physiological processes.

Symptoms of lämmastikurikaste in plants often include lush, dark green foliage. This increased vegetative growth can come at the expense of flowering and fruiting, meaning plants may produce fewer flowers or fruits than they otherwise would. Stems and leaves can become softer and more succulent, making them more susceptible to pests and diseases. In severe cases, leaf burn or tip browning can occur, and the overall structural integrity of the plant may be compromised. The excessive nitrogen can also interfere with the uptake of other essential nutrients, leading to deficiencies in those elements. Correcting lämmastikurikaste typically involves reducing nitrogen application, improving soil drainage to facilitate leaching of excess nitrogen, or incorporating organic matter that releases nutrients more slowly.
