Solution
General description
It regulates the excess uptake of phosphorus, as well as nitrogen. It is one if the chief antidotes to mercury, and in soils where mercury poisoning is detected, plants can be safely grown, provided a dose of Nit. ac. is administered soon after planting, to prevent the uptake of mercury in the plant. The plant craves lime or alkaline substances.
Effect on Plants -
Named Issues
Nitrogenous rich soils and plants. Phosphorus excess. Blotch, black point, mildew, eyespot, purpling of stem and leaves. (3) Malnutrition, irritation, ulceration, fluid secretion, acts on the skeletal system of the plant and its skin. Cell walls of the vessels that leak easily relaxed to liquid. Septoria spot, stains stagonosphora, helmithosporium sacchari (eye spot) in sac-charrum offinarum, Diplocarpon rosae-fungus (black spot in ro-SAS), mildew generally peronosphora farinosa, microsphaea alni (polvil, white leaves or mildew), chlorosis.

Roots
The roots have dark blotches or green (except legumes). They usually have an offensive smell. They are swollen and have an ulcerated appearance. (3) Swelling in the roots, the roots smell bad. (244)
Stem/trunk and bark - capillary system
The stem is either too rigid or too weak, and both are indications of excess nitrogen and phosphorus. (3) Cracks in the skin and patchy discoloration black, weak stems and bark. (244)
Leaves
At the 2-4 leaf stage chlorosis may appear. The midriffs turn pink, as well as the petioles. Later the stems turn purple or red. The older leaves turn yellow to orange-red, with red veins. The leaves die and gradually the whole plant becomes affected. As a consequence there is a reduction in branching. Purpling of underside of leaves, pink/red. Yellowing of leaves. (3)
Generative organs
stamen, which either pollinate too early or not at all (3) Pollination premature or absent. (244)
Fruit
Fruiting is affected and crop loss may result. (3)
Notes and Academic Papers
Tree bark cracks, (except on eucalypts where bark sheds as a normal feature). Bark fissures. Fololws Kali carb (3) Modalities worse with cold or with cold water, by the very hot weather in late afternoon, changes. (244)
