Yellow leaves
« on: May 24, 2012, 10:41 »
Why have the bottom set of leaves gone yellow on my corn on the cob plants? I have recently planted them out. They are about 5inches tall with about six leaves but the bottom two have turned yellow, please can someone suggest why? Thank you. :(

Older/first leaves can/do die back, it's not usually a problem - did you plant them while it was still cold at night? They may have had a bit of a shock at transplanting.

Yes I planted them about 10 days ago. Thank you for your reply. I bought some good quality top soil from a large supplier who also mixed in some "well rotted" manure, if it wasn't "well rotten" enough could this cause yellowing of the leaves? Thank you.

I fear some more rotting down is needed for some parts of the delivery. (I had 22 tons delivered) which is mostly ok but every now and then I come across a soggy clump of slightly pungent manure, maybe that has damaged the veg. If so what can I do?

Make sure the new manure is not touching the stem's or leaves.
