Abstract
Chlorosis, which is associated with a reduction in the chlorophyll content of leaves, is a major problem in the growing of deciduous fruit trees and some field crops on calcareous soil. Under various soil conditions more than one factor may be involved in the development of chlorosis in plants. A deficiency of magnesium, manganese, zinc or iron, and virus infections can induce chlorosis. It is also induced by the presence of high concentrations of phosphate, bicarbonate, manganese, copper, zinc, or numerous other factors.
