Copper deficiency [ Horticulture - Phytopathology ]


	Absence or insufficiency of copper needed for normal growth and development.

Plants suffering from copper deficiency are severely stunted with exceedingly small terminal leaves (often only one fifth or less of normal size). Terminal leaves eventually die and multiple budding occurs immediately below the dead terminal. These buds will also die terminally and often multiple buds will develop on each break giving the plant a "witches broom" appearance
