Optimal Conditions
It will mostly affect warm season plants during the cooler, wetter times of the year
Signature
Yellowing leaves on the lower, more mature stems of the plant
Prevention
Consistent watering practices and routine testing of pH. Worm castings and juice are both great soil conditioners that allow easier passage of nutrition in the soil to the plant. Incorporate sparingly in the patch.
Coping
Keeping plants properly watered and mulched allows greater access to the nutrients within the soil. Warmer-season plants tend to slow their uptake of water and nutrients when temperatures drop, so it is most common for leaves to turn yellow in cool conditions. Once soil temperatures increase, they begin to repair.
Eradicating
An application of Epsom salts to the foliage and the roots will quickly begin to repair the plants as they absorb the salts.
