This is one of the signs of a dangerous disease.

Strawberries are grown in almost every garden plot. This is a favorite summer delicacy that will replace any dessert.

The popularity of strawberries is also due to their unpretentiousness. They are relatively easy to grow. However, even this plant has its own diseases and pests.

For example, yellow or light-colored leaves during the height of the growing season are a sign of chlorosis.

Experts divide this disease into two types. Infectious chlorosis is caused by fungi and pests. In the second case, the disease can appear due to weather conditions, lack of nutrition or damage to the root system.

If chlorosis is caused by an infection, then it is very difficult to save the plant. It is easier to dig up the damaged bushes.

If the problem is a lack of nutrients, then a complex fertilizer will correct the situation.

It is necessary to add fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and observe the further condition of the foliage. If it turns green again, then the problem is solved.
