Tobacco - Magnesium (Mg) Deficiency

By: Matthew Vann, Josh Henry, Paul Cockson, Brian Whipker Tobacco Nutrient Information

Tobacco that is deficient in magnesium (Mg) will initially develop symptoms on the lower or older foliage.

Mg is mobile within plant tissues and will readily translocated from older leaves to the young developing tissues during limited Mg conditions.
