Symptoms
Leaves remain small and turn pale green, starting with the oldest leaves first. The stems become thin, hard and fibrous. Flowers are more readily aborted, resulting in poor fruit set. Fruits are small, pale green and deformed, especially at the blossom end.
Reasons
Nitrogen deficiency vs. optimum.
Efficient correction only possible before flowering.Beyond this stage yield loss and fruit deformation irreversible.
