 If a pulse crop possesses premature yellowing of leaves and decreases in yield an application of magnesium and iron to promote synthesis of chlorophyll may become most beneficial to overcome the problem and to obtain maximum seed yield.

Magnesium is an important part of the ring structure of chlorophyll molecules and its deficiency causes chlorosis and premature leaf abscission.

In iron deficiency also, the leaves become chlorotic because iron is required for the synthesis of some of the chlorophyll protein complexes in the chloroplast.Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
