Sreekanth M Thanks for your response on probable cause of issue. Each pit for the plant was filled with mix of 2kg rice husk ash + 1kg cow dung manure + 50gm urea. I wonder how and in which form to apply more potassium. If that's the cure for the situation. As there is no mention of the application method in the article Potassium Deficiency . Thanks

Vipul You can apply MOP 400 gm per plant. Apply Mop at a depth of 15 cm and 1 feet away from plant. Regular irrigation is recommended.

Sreekanth M MOP, potassium chloride powder you mean? The field is drip irrigated, is there a way to send the measured dosage through venturi?
