The midrib and the leaf veins remain green for a longer time, but also fade with severe deficiency. Symptoms start on the younger leaves.

Reasons
Iron deficiency Nitrogen deficiency also leads to yellowing of the leaves, but symptoms start on older leaves and the leaf veins or the midrib do not remain green longer. Sulphur deficiency also causes yellow leaves starting on younger leaves, but the whole leaf and the veins or the midrib become evenly green.
