Q

chlorosis

A

chlorosis - condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll

  • Chlorophyll - responsible for the green color of leaves, thus chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white
  • Affected plant has little or no ability to manufacture carbohydrates through photosynthesis and may die unless the cause of its chlorophyll insufficiency is treated
  • Often seen in vineyards high in limestone, such as Barolo, Rioja, Champagne, Burgundy
    • Grapevine often struggles to pull sufficient levels of iron, which is a needed component in the production of chlorophyll
