Why it matters
Trace-element shortfalls cut chlorophyll, enzyme function, and growth; since the cause is often availability, supplying chelated forms and fixing pH corrects it.
When it appears
On high-pH/alkaline/waterlogged soils.
How to identify it
- Interveinal yellowing on the youngest leaves (iron/manganese)
- Small leaves and short bunched shoots (zinc)
- Common on high-pH/alkaline soils
How to manage it
- Address pH and drainage.
- Correct with Micro Boost (foliar for speed); free lock-up with Balance Boost.
