Interveinal
chlorosis is a yellowing of the leaves between the veins
with the veins remaining green. In plants with strap-like
leaves such as the daylily this results in a striped
effect. While there are several possible causes, this
symptom frequently indicates a nutritional imbalance.
The accompanying image illustrates a daylily exhibiting
interveinal chlorosis. In this particular case, leaf
tissue analysis indicated the cause was probably manganese
deficiency induced by high soil pH. |
