Tipburn
Tipburn is a physiological disorder. The tips of the leaves are brown. The necrosis may involve a few
spots along the margin or the whole edge of the leaf may be affected. The lesions are frequently invaded
by soft-rotting bacteria that can cause severe decay.
SolutionsTipburn is a physiological disorder related to calcium deficiency and aggravated by high soil fertility
and high temperatures. Hold nitrogen levels as low as possible, and do not apply excessive fertilizers
that might compete with calcium uptake. Follow good irrigation
practices and avoid water stress.
