Over time, the yellowing may even turn a pale white or the whole leaf may be affected. [4] Iron deficient plants may overaccumulate heavy metals such as cadmium. [5]
Symptoms of nitrogen deficiencies in plants is general chlorosis of the leaves, which is when leaves turn pale green, and leaves cup upwards quite severely in deficient plants. [4] Nitrogen deficiencies also cause leaves to remain small, and drop prematurely, resulting in less photosynthesis occurring in the plant, and fewer, smaller tubers can ...

Symptoms include: [1] [2] pale leaves with interveinal and marginal chlorosis (yellowing) and necrosis (scald); the whiptail disorder in Brassica crops (especially cauliflower);
