Here on the East coast the number one cause of leaf yellowing is Downey
Mildew, this disease starts in the southern USA and moves up the coast
getting to my farm by mid August, you will notice the field looking dark
green and lush one week then suddenly turning lime green the next week then
yellow the third week, plants are always stressed by heavy production when
this happens, if your plants are very young and not fruiting yet then look
into nutrient deficiencies, check with your IPM specialist about the presence
of downey mildew in your area...
