Nitrogen and "Summer Chlorosis" in Loblolly Pine
Summer chlorosis," a frequent malady in southern pine nurseries, probably has several causes. From all appearances, iron is deficient, but the condition usually occurs at a soil pH where iron should be readily available. The symptoms may be partially alleviated by application of chelated iron soon after the chlorosis appears. However, the malady's frequent occurrence in patches or streaks along the ends and edges of nursery beds makes it difficult to associate it with a general soil condition.
