Iron deficiency vs. healthy plant-Cabbage

Symptoms
Leaf blades are smaller than usual, whereas petioles are somewhat longer.

Reasons
Iron deficiency (right) Iron is the micronutrient needed in greatest quantities within brassicas, but deficiencies are rarely seen. Lack of Fe is most frequent on light, alkaline and calcareous soils with low organic matter. However, soils with peat substrates have a naturally low Fe content. High P fertilization may also induce Fe deficiency.

Symptoms
Leaf petioles are somewhat longer than usual, giving the plant a loose appearance and increasing its diameter. The leaves are not cupped inwards and headforming is inhibited. Young leaves show a faint yellowgreen tint.
