Overview
Check deficiency patterns
Nutrient deficiencies usually show through leaf color, growth, flowering, and fruit development. Yellow leaves do not always mean nitrogen deficiency: pH, waterlogging, drought stress, cold soil, or damaged roots can also block nutrients. Always check site and care before fertilizing.
Deficiencies
Potassium deficiency
Plants:53
Topics:53
Stunted growth Lack of potassium, important for water balance and fruit development.

Magnesium deficiency
Plants:35
Topics:35
Yellowing (chlorosis) between the leaf veins Magnesium is a central component of chlorophyll. Deficiency leads to reduced photosynthetic performance.
Open guideDeficiencies
Iron deficiency
Plants:30
Topics:31
Yellowing of leaves, especially younger ones, while the veins remain green. Caused by iron deficiency in the soil or poor availability. Chlorosis of younger leaves, where leaf veins remain green while the tissue between them turns yellow. Often occurs with high pH or waterlogging
