Manzana - Chlorosis
Old leaves bluish-green with scorched margins (brown or grey). Margins may first appear light green and later turn necrotic. Necrosis progresses from the margins inward to the midrib.
Potassium deficiency
Frost and drought can cause similar symptoms

Frost and drought can cause similar symptoms
- Acidic soils (low pH)
- Sandy or light soils (leaching)
- Drought conditions
- High rainfall (leaching)
- or heavy irrigation
- Heavy clay (illite) soils
- Soils with low K reserves
- Magnesium rich soils
- New growth is healthy
- Cold hardiness is improved
- Flower number increases
- Fruit are longer and are generally more intensely coloured
- Fruit may mature earlier and have improved flavour
- Yields are increased
