                                Approximately 75% of a potato plant's magnesium uptake occurs during the critical tuber bulking phase, making it a pivotal nutrient for a successful harvest. But how do you know if you have a magnesium deficiency in potatoes? It's all in the leaves—specifically, a distinct yellowing pattern on the older leaves that signals a lack of this vital element.
