The reduced nutrient uptake in cold weather can lead to stunted growth and visible damage in crops like wheat, mustard, potato, and winter vegetables. Yellowing and purpling of leaves are common symptoms, which can affect crop yield and quality. Waterlogged fields exacerbate the problem by depriving roots of oxygen, further hindering nutrient absorption. Farmers in regions experiencing cold waves or frost are particularly at risk, as these conditions can cause additional stress to crops. Without timely intervention, the economic impact on agricultural output could be significant.
