Potassium deficiency is a nutritional disorder that affects a plant's ability to regulate stomatal opening and closing, resulting in characteristic leaf edge burn. Potassium is a mobile nutrient, so symptoms first appear on older, lower leaves.

Soil pH Imbalance
Soil pH imbalance occurs when soil becomes too acidic (low pH < 6.0) or too alkaline (high pH > 7.5), preventing plants from absorbing essential nutrients. The ideal pH range for most plants is 6.5-7.5. When pH is outside this range, nutrients become chemically locked in the soil, leading to deficiency symptoms even when nutrients are present.
