What color is magnesium deficiency?

Published in Plant Deficiency 1 min read

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.
