Coffee - Chlorosis
Symptoms
Young leaves turn pale green and then a chlorosed yellow or white.
Veins stay green, unless the deficiency is particularly severe when the leaves turn almost white.
Older leaves are rarely affected.
Reasons
Iron deficiency
Symptoms of Magnesium deficiency look similar, but occur on older leaves first.

Iron deficiency made worse by
- High pH
- Water logged soils
- Calcareous soils
- High copper, manganese or zinc soils
Iron is important for
- Optimises leaf quality to ensure yield benefits
