Early chlorosis

Early chlorosis (Chlorosis Praematura) is a disease that is characterized by blanching and wilting of plant leaves. It can occur in both young and mature plants, but is most often observed in juvenile plants.

The main symptoms of early chlorosis are:

– Discoloration of leaves, which may turn yellow, green or even brown.
– Withering of leaves and slowing down of plant growth.
– Deformation of leaves and stems of plants.
– Reduced yield and quality of fruits.

The causes of early chlorosis can vary, but they are usually associated with a lack of nutrients in the soil, such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus or magnesium. Plants may also be affected by fungal infections or harmful insects.

To combat early chlorosis, it is necessary to fertilize plants with nutrients, as well as fight pests and diseases. It is also important to monitor the quality of the soil and its composition to prevent the occurrence of chlorosis.

If early chlorosis is not treated, it can lead to plant death and reduced yield. Therefore, it is important to promptly detect the symptoms of the disease and take measures to eliminate it.



Chlorosis is a group of diseases that affect plants and are caused by metabolic disorders and nutrition of plant cells. Chlorosis literally means “greening” due to abnormal development of chlorophyll. This occurs when chlorophyll does not have the correct shape or is poorly attached to its base - cellulose. Chlorosis can occur at any time of the year, but most often it appears in early spring. This causes many problems for owners of garden and indoor plants. The most common type of chlorosis is chlorotic. It is easy to treat and produces healthy plants, which is why most gardeners actively work on it. Pallid infirmity is also known as “pale chlorosis”, “chlorosis” or “frail infirmity”. This disease is characterized by the appearance of weak green leaves with a very pale surface. Yellow-white stripes on the leaves give the plant an unhealthy appearance. On the leaves you can notice both individual rings and lesions over the entire surface. Sometimes the damaged areas may have a marbled appearance.
