What are the symptoms of iron deficiency
Iron deficiency in plants manifests as mottled, yellowing leaves. In most cases, the younger leaves are affected first and symptoms will later spread to the rest of the plant. At some point, the entire leaf will turn pale and die. For some plants, the discolored leaves are the only indication that there is a problem. But for other plants, it can also cause, for example, growth retardation or falling fruit. You can also have the soil tested if you suspect an iron deficiency to make sure that an iron deficiency is present. Some plants are more susceptible to iron deficiencies. This is because the biology of each plant is different and so the ability to use and absorb iron differs from plant to plant.
