yellowing leaves

Hi,
I am growing some rice plants in a container as part of a children's edible garden. The plants are about 6 inches tall and look fine except that the leaves are starting to yellow. The main stalk is green but I'm concerned that soon that will yellow as well. Can anyone suggest the best way to deal with this? Is it an issue of nutrients?
Thanks for any and all help.
Take care,
Chris |

| Could be a number of factors. Too much water/not enough, lack or iron, etc. Here in Baton Rouge, LA, the Deerfield-Oliver silt loam soils as well as others typically have a lack of iron. Every couple of months I have to add Ironite to all of my gardens. Turns the leaves back to green within a week. Try adding some Ironite (either granular or foliar) to the plant. I bet the Ironite will clear up the problem. If not, you can always apply it to your lawn and gardens. James |
