Beans - Chlorosis
Symptoms
Older leaves show intercostal chlorosis up to complete paling and their margins are vaulted downward. Brown, slightly sunken lesions may develop along veins or spread over the leaf blade.
Plant growth and pod development are inhibited.
Reasons
Magnesium deficiency (right)
The availibility of Mg rises at pH>6.5, therefore acidic soils often cause Mg undersupply. Volcanic ash soils with low levels of K and Ca may also be a reason for Magnesium deficiency.
Fe or Mn deficiency also cause interveinal chloroses, but occur on younger leaves first.

Beans - Deformation
Symptoms
Older leaves show intercostal chlorosis up to complete paling and their margins are vaulted downward. Brown, slightly sunken lesions may develop along veins or spread over the leaf blade. Additionally there may appear well-defined bleached whitish spots or larger areas, covering several leaf segments between the veins.
Plant growth and pod development are inhibited.

Magnesium deficiency made worse by
- Sandy soils
- Acidic soils
- Potassium rich soils
- Soils receiving high potash applications
- Cold wet periods
Magnesium is important for
- Boosts yield
- Improves quality characteristics
