Role of Phosphorus : 

1. Structural component of cell membrane, mitochondria, chloroplast etc.
   
2. Constituent of nucleic acid.
   
3. Involved in photosynthesis, activation of several enzymes, energy transfer etc.
   
4. Required for root and shoot growth.
   
5. Gives aroma to the produce.
   

Role of Potassium : 

1. Cell membrane permeability and translocation of food within the plant.
   
2. Maintains water and mineral balance, develops resistance.
   
3. Required for seed and grain setting and development.
   
4. Essential for activation of certain enzymes.
   
5. Gives colour, flavour and lustre to the produce.
   

Phosphorus Deficiency : 

1. Phosphorus is a structural component of plants body, Inadequate phosphorus causes less root and shoot development.
   
2. Loss of resistance, Plants become prone to disease attacks.
   
3. In some crops blue green appearance on tender parts are observed.
   
4. Poor root growth results in poor absorption of nutrients from the soil.
   
5. Delayed maturity, less flowering and fruit setting results lower yield.
   

Potassium Deficiency : 

1. Small white spots develop on edges of leaves.
   
2. Loss of chlorophyll causes death of the green tissues.
   
3. Symptoms occur first on lower and older leaves generally.
   
4. In cotton and wheat it appears on tip of the leaves.
   
5. Weak and sick plants, lodging in small grains.
   
6. Loss of resistance to diseases and pests attacks.
   
7. Heavy loss of yield.
