Hi there
Chlorosis is a disease which is caused by the loss of the normal green coloration of leaves of plants, caused by the deficiency of N, K, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn and Mo.
While Necrosis is the death of a plant cell or tissue while the rest of the plants is still alive, and the dead tissue becomes dark in colour and it is caused by the deficiency of Ca, Mg, Cu and K.
Thus, the deficiency of the elements which causes both the necrosis and chlorosis are listed below:-
- Mg i.e Magnesium
- K i.e potassium
I hope that this helps you
Thankyou
