Chlorosis in plants

MuddyBuckets · November 29, 2019

The leaves on my overwintering peppers and avocado are showing signs of what I believe is chlorosis. The new leaves are turning light green to yellow with the leaf veins staying a darker green.

"Symptoms - As mentioned above, interveinal chlorosis is a yellowing of the leaves that only occurs on leaves where the veins still have chlorophyll. Chlorosis of the whole leaf is a nitrogen deficiency and is easily treated."

Any suggestions as to ferts or supplements will be appreciated. Some available information suggests a product such as Ironite or a high N fert will help with the chlorophyll production.
