Interveinal chlorosis on young leaves. Interveinal chlorosis on young leaves with larger veins only remaining green . Interveinal chlorosis with smallest veins remaining green producing a checkered or finely netted effect. Poor bloom-both size and color. Interveinal chlorosis is not the main symptom on new growth .
Symptoms are highly dependent upon plant species.
Leaves over entire plant may become yellowish green, roots and stems are small in diameter and are hard and woody. Young leaves may appear to be uniformly yellow. This retention of green color of older foliage distinguishes sulfur deficiency in these species from nitrogen deficiency where the nitrogen is translocated from the older foliage into the new leaves. With nitrogen starvation, old leaves as well as new leaves turn yellow. Effect general on whole plant or localized on older, lower leaves.
