Example

New leaves yellow, veins still green, old leaves still green

  1. New leaves yellow, veins still green, old leaves still green
  2. Peanut new leaves are yellow with green veins; old leaves still look fine. Neighbours said more nitrogen.
  3. Nitrogen yellows the old leaves. Iron lock yellows the new ones and leaves the veins green. This looks like iron locked, not a nitrogen gap. Limey soil and a heavy watering do this. Ask pH. Don’t only pour nitrogen.
新叶黄、叶脉还绿,底下叶子还绿着
