									Iron Deficiency: 2287 Sadiq '22
  Just like last year this is another image what an iron deficiency looks like in a giant pumpkin plant.  This image was taken at night under the artificial  light as it shows the color distinction better.

  Last year the plant was a more advanced deficiency�
