Leaves blue-green between the veins. Leaf margins and tips turn reddish-brown. Leaf margin turned down. Younger leaves dark green at first turning grey-green. Development of whitish-yellow necrotic spots starting at the margin, which later turn brown on older leaves first.
Stems remain thin and in severe deficiency exhibit dark necrotic spots.
Chorotic spots between the leaf margins beginning from the leaf edges. Brown discoloration of the leaf-margin, downward curling of the leaves, which after death remain attached for a long time. In the early stages the leaf margins curl inwards. Leaves turn yellow and die at the margin extending towards the middle. New shoots deformed rendering them unable to sustain ripening.
