These health benefits are largely tied to purple corn's high content of anthocyanins, the antioxidant-rich color pigments that give it its dark purple color. Nella Schimmelpenning Explainer. How do you fix low phosphorus? Correction and prevention of phosphorus deficiency typically involves increasing the levels of available phosphorus into the soil.
Planters introduce more phosphorus into the soil with bone meal, rock phosphate, manure, and phosphate-fertilizers. Halimatou Vandaele Explainer. Why do phosphorus deficient plants turn purple? The purplish color is due to accumulation of sugars that favors the synthesis of anthocyanin a purplish -colored pigment , which occurs in the leaves of the plant.
Phosphorus is highly mobile in plants , and when deficient , it may be translocated from old plant tissue to young, actively growing areas. Thea Weffers Explainer. What does purple corn taste like?

If sufficient P is present, adding more phosphorus will not turn purple leaves green. Research on understanding purple corn has shown the anthocyanin pigment is produced only on the surface layer of cells and does not affect the chlorophyll content in the leaf.
Therefore, early season purple coloration does not generally impact corn yield. Furthermore, there are some genetic differences in the predisposition of corn hybrids to purple coloration.
Young corn plants that turn purple usually grow out of the symptoms after about the six-leaf stage. When the weather warms up and rapid growth resumes, sugars are metabolized normally and plants attain their normal green color. If the problem persists, then some remedial measures such as soil testing and tillage practices are needed.
Michigan State University Extension recommends farmers scout early season corn fields for compacted soil, nutrient deficiency symptoms, pesticide misapplications, root injury or deformities, irregular planting depth and emergence.
