Role of Copper in Potato Production
Copper is a constituent of enzymes involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism and it serves as a catalyst in photosynthesis and respiration.
Copper deficiency
Copper is immobile within plants and the deficiency is shown as stunted growth, dieback of terminal growth, and wilting and eventual death of leaf tips. Copper deficiency occurs most commonly on sandy soils and soils with high organic matter content.
