We are used to the fact that yellowing of leaves is mainly experienced by other crops (onions and garlic, for example).
But beets are not immune to this deficiency.
Therefore, you need to know about the possible causes of this negative phenomenon in order to prevent it.
Why beet leaves may turn yellow
Moisture
The most common reason is insufficient watering. This is the dominant reason. Do not think that beets do not need moisture: this is a big mistake.
Therefore, try to add water on schedule.
Nitrogen
This reason is also quite common: often the yellow color of beet tops indicates that the crop is experiencing a clear nitrogen deficiency.
Therefore, you can simply add any appropriate fertilizer.
Diseases
Also, do not forget about diseases. Yellow color of tops is often associated with the development of phomosis, jaundice. Also, sometimes such a phenomenon is the result of pest activity.
Among them, the most notable are the beet aphid, leaf miner and shield bug.
Previously we talked about how to use beetroot and vinegar fertilizer .
