An albino corn plant with no chlorophyll (left) beside a normal plant (right) In botany, chlorosis is a condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll.As chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of leaves, chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white.
A young cabbage plant exhibiting nitrogen deficiency. Nitrogen deficiency is a deficiency of nitrogen in plants. This can occur when organic matter with high carbon content, such as sawdust, is added to soil. [1] Soil organisms use any nitrogen available to break down carbon sources, making nitrogen unavailable to plants. [1]
Corn grey leaf spot can be an extremely devastating disease as potential yield losses range from 5 to 40 US bushels per acre (440 to 3,480 L/ha). At higher disease levels, even greater losses can result. When a corn plant's ability to store and produce carbohydrates (glucose) in the grain is diminished, yield losses take place.
Young leaves, may experience chlorotic spotting which may eventually turn into a mosaic or mottle pattern (“Maize Dwarf Mosaic Virus,” n.d.). Later in the growing season, the mosaic pattern may bleed into a general yellowing of the leaf and eventually areas of red streaks or blotches may appear if night time temperatures are consistently ...

Often, plants that have wilt symptoms also have leaf blight symptoms. [citation needed] The second, more common phase of the disease is the leaf blight phase, which occurs on the leaves at any vegetative growth stage. [3] At first, the leaf lesions appear long and irregularly shaped and are light green to yellow and later on, straw colored.
Protect the ears from corn earworms by putting several (4 or 5) drops of mineral oil at the tips of each ear as the silks begin to turn brown and dry. That’s an old but effective way of keeping ...
Northern corn leaf blight on corn Sporulation on corn leaf. Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) or Turcicum leaf blight (TLB) is a foliar disease of corn caused by Exserohilum turcicum, the anamorph of the ascomycete Setosphaeria turcica. With its characteristic cigar-shaped lesions, this disease can cause significant yield loss in susceptible ...
