Dark Greening of Citrus Leaves

Any unnatural coloration of citrus leaves needs to be investigated. A darker greening, while uncommon, could be a result of a nutrient deficiency.

While rarely seen, copper deficiency leaves are dark green and enlarged. Stems are also more slender than normal and appear flat and regular. Phosphorus deficient leaves can also become a darker green.

Growers should check using tissue analysis and apply the appropriate YaraVita product to the leaf to ensure supplies of the deficient nutrient are not limiting growth.
