Detailed explanation-1: -Nutrient deficiencies cause symptoms such as leaf yellowing or browning, sometimes in distinctive patterns. This may be accompanied by stunted growth and poor flowering or fruiting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chlorosis is the yellowing of leaves caused by a lack of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the “green” that trees synthesize from sunlight’s energy and the water and nutrients taken up by a tree’s root system. It’s what makes tree leaves green.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nutrients most commonly deficient in plants are phosphorus, nitrogen, and iron. Phosphorus can be present in the soil, but in quantities too small to be taken up effectively. Nitrogen might be present, but in a form that cannot be used by plants. In alkaline soils, some plants are unable to take up iron.
