Nitrogen deficiency-Corn

Symptoms
Affected plants show spindly, sparse growth. On the older leaves, V-shaped yellowing on the leaf tips progresses towards the base, so that leaves finally turn uniformly pale green/yellow. Stalks get a reddish discoloration. The oldest leaves on the bottom become necrotic.

Reasons
Nitrogen deficiency. Sulfur deficiency can cause similar chloroses but starts on the younger leaves, whereas paling due to N deficiency is detectable on older leaves first.

Symptoms
Leaves turn pale green/yellow beginning along main vein and then from leaf tip (V-shape). Necrosis develops from leaf tip as deficiency continues.

Symptoms
Reduced cob size and uncomplete cob fill due to N deficiency.

Reasons
Nitrogen deficiency on cob (right)

Symptoms
Growth of the complete plant is stunted, leaves and stem show an overall chlorosis. Older leaves are affected most; they turn yellow and die off prematurely. The stem base shows a reddish discoloration. Cob development is inhibited.

Reasons
Different levels of nitrogen deficiency vs control (from left to right).
