If tomato and pepper seedlings turn pale green under favorable conditions, they most likely lack magnesium.
How to fix the situation, says expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Why seedlings turn pale and how to fix it
Ideally, the seedlings should be emerald green. Pale green is a sure sign of magnesium deficiency.
Even with a high content of this element in the soil, it may not reach the roots due to the use of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
Phosphorus and potassium bind magnesium, preventing the plant from absorbing it.
This does not mean that you need to give up phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, but you need to add magnesium in chelated form.
Regularly feed the seedlings with magnesium chelate according to the instructions, and there will be no problems with the color of the seedlings.
