All vegetables apart from nitrogen fixing legumes are prone to this disorder. Nitrogen deficiency can be prevented by using grass mowings as a mulch or foliar feeding with manure.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-to-nitrogen_ratio

    The C:N ratio of soil can be modified by the addition of materials such as compost, manure, and mulch. A feedstock with a near-optimal C:N ratio will be consumed quickly. Any excess C will cause the N originally in the soil to be consumed, competing with the plant for nutrients (immobilization) – at least temporarily until the microbes die.
