Lechuga y ensalada - Necrosis
Symptoms of zinc deficiency on lettuce start on older or medium leaves. They develop papery, grey-green necrosic spots with brown borders on leaf margins. Necrotic areas increase quickly and flow together.
Leaf parts which are not subjected to light remain green.
Growth is restricted.
Zinc deficiency in an early stage of development causes rosetting, no heads are formed.
Zinc deficiency on leaves compared to optimum supply
Lechuga y ensalada - Growth retardation
