In the upper mid-west, where calcareous soils are common, Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) is an important yield-limiting factor in soybean production. IDC occurs in the interveinal tissue of young leaves when iron is unavailable to the plant. Yield loss is known to occur even if chlorosis is not evident or after plants have seemingly matured and grown through the chlorotic symptoms. This costs the growers millions of dollars each year.
