Almond - Chlorosis

Symptoms
Symptoms appear on young leaves first: they show a light green to yellow tissue coloration between the veins. The chlorosis may disappear later in the season. Otherwise the affected leaves can turn completely yellowgreen and exhibit a bronze tint at the marginal area. Later on the leaf margins and tips get necrotic and roll up.

Reasons
Iron deficiency. Fe deficiency symptoms may occur as a consequence of calcareous soils (lime induced chlorosis) or heavy, waterlogged underground. Promoted by unfavourable growing conditions in spring.

Iron deficiency made worse by

  • High pH
  • Water logged soils
  • Calcareous soils
  • High copper, manganese or zinc soils

Iron is important for

  • Combats chlorosis
  • Prevents premature leaf fall
  • Gives healthier greener trees
