Chlorine deficiency [ Horticulture - Phytopathology ]


	Absence or insufficiency of chlorine needed for normal growth and development.

Chlorine is rarely, if ever, deficient in plants growing in nature because of its high solubility and availability in soils and because it is also transported in dust or in tiny moisture droplets by wind and rain to the leaves where absorption occurs. When chlorine deficiency does occur, however, it causes leaves to wilt and change in colour from green through to yellow, eventually becoming a bronze colour.
