Magnesium deficiency is often characterized by yellowing between the leaf veins, a condition known as interveinal chlorosis. This discoloration can appear as yellow, white, or even reddish-brown depending on the severity of the deficiency.
Here are some additional observations:
- Early stages: The yellowing may be subtle and only present on the older leaves.
- Advanced stages: As the deficiency worsens, the yellowing becomes more pronounced and spreads to younger leaves.
- Other symptoms: Dead spots, leaf drop, and stunted growth can also accompany magnesium deficiency.
Important Note:
While the color associated with magnesium deficiency is commonly yellow, it can vary depending on the plant species and the severity of the deficiency.
