Deficiency of MgDeficiency of Mg

•Interveinal chlorosis extending towards the youngest leaves.

•Growth of the plant inhibited.

•Purple mottling of leaf petioles

•Malformation of leaves and sheaths

•Leaf yellowing, reduced growth and yield

•Leaf chlorosis, purple brown spots on the external part of the petiole and poor root development

•Fruits of Mg deficient plants do not ripen well and are tasteless.

•Upper branches are dwarfed and they begin

to die back.
