Symptoms
of Mg deficiency are seen periodically, particularly
on sandy sites. A distinctive pattern of chlorosis develops
between the main veins of leaves. These regions may
turn yellow to bright red while tissues adjacent to
the main veins remain green. Older leaves at the bases
of canes and shoots show symptoms first. Young leaves
at the tips of shoots are seldom affected.
Symptoms of Mg deficiency may vary in color and usually develop later in the summer.
