Symptoms
Chlorotic leaf mottling and interveinal yellowing on young leaves (occasionally with yellow veins). Leaves are cupped upward, often with scorched margins being rolled up longitudinally. Twisted leaf blades and premature defoliation occur when deficiency is severe.
Reasons
Molybdenum deficiency.
Mo deficiency has not yet been reported under field conditions.
