Approximately 70% of shrubs and trees produce anthocyanin pigments, especially in autumn, to create red leaves. The common misconception is that only green leaves contain chlorophyll, but this essential pigment is present in virtually all photosynthetic plant leaves, even when masked by other vibrant colors.

Over 2,000 research articles have been published on the topic of chlorophyll content in strawberry leaves, confirming that this vital pigment is present and measurable. Like most green plants, strawberry leaves are equipped with chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy for growth and development. This process is the foundation of the strawberry plant's ability to produce its delicious fruit.

Nitrogen is a critical macronutrient, forming up to 50% of the dry matter of protoplasm in plants. When a plant lacks this vital element, the most observable indicator of a nitrogen deficiency is a distinct and progressive yellowing, or chlorosis, of its older foliage.
