Both vegetative growth and fruit production are severely restricted plants appear pale and spindly.  New leaves are small but remain green, whereas the oldest leaves turn yellow and die.  The yellowing spreads up the shoot to younger leaves.  Yield is reduced and fruit are pale, short and thick.

Side-dress deficient in-ground crops with 20-50 kg N/ha, or apply fortnightly foliar sprays of 2% urea at high volume.
