Vegetative
growth
Germination and
Establishment
Seeds contain all the nutrient
they need to germinate and
grow their first pair of leaves.
Nitrogen is most
important for plants
when their energy is
directed into growing
stems and foliage.
Fullgrown plants
need extra
phosphorus during
the transition to
blooming stage.
As flower or
fruit reach full
maturity,the
plants no
longer need
nutrients.
Just water.

skeletonize leaves which
become lace-like and
eventually turn brown
from their feeding.

creating small pits or
irregularly shaped
holes.High numbers
of adults can kill or
stunt seedlings
