This is leafy vegetable, sorrel leaves. Is this potassium deficiency or magnesium or iron deficiency. Started appearing in other plants too.
I've started searching about this problem, the yellowing of leaves started and even before that baby seedlings have burnt Leaves and most of them were dead. What is lacking in the soil, is it potassium or magnesium or iron deficiency. Help me decide it

It's looks like iron deficiency. Symptoms: interveinal chlorosis, green veins in younger leaves.

In some pics , I can see intervienal chlorosis and margin necrosis. That might be because of calcium deficiency.

As the mature leaves also shows symptoms, it may not be iron deficiency.

For Mg and K deficiencies, symptoms will appear in older leaves first.

There is no distortion. But all leaves are effected as in the pics...and many seedlings have died already when it has two leaves only. So I there are no older leaves..so which deficiency i need to decide

Hi Kavya . It's Iron Deficiency and Damping-Off of Seedlings due to heavy rains or overwatering and direct watering on plant. Lets click on green link for checking symptoms and taking control measures from Plantix library.

I believe there is potassium deficiency in the soil.
