Do any of your early spring summer seedlings flop like this?
.
Two main conditions cause this phenomenon:
.
CHILLING INJURY is a physiological condition that alters the functioning of a plant that is related to and affected by cold temperatures both in the atmosphere and the soil causing an imbalance of metabolic functioning and at times the excess production of toxic metabolites
.
DAMPING OFF - common in wet and cool starts to spring - a big problem in Melbourne. It generally refers to any number of pathogens responsible for infecting seeds before or after germination. Once infected, symptoms include weakening stems via lesions, thin stem growth, root rot and a symptom often found on baby capsicum seedlings when planted too early in the cold - leaf rust or spotting
.
Other factors for a seemingly healthy looking seedling flopping over includes dehydration, lack of deep watering, irrecoverable transplant shock and cold soil - young seedlings cannot absorb CALCIUM in cold soil, a nutrient that is vital for the formation of strong new cells and is used to activate particular enzymes and the regulating of certain cellular activities
.
CALCIUM uptake is also problem in acidic soil and even in highly alkaline soil. Excess CALCIUM will bind to PHOSPHORUS causing an even greater problem
