Abstract
Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot blanc was grown in both pot and commercial vineyard under lime‐stress conditions. Dark green to very chlorotic young leaves were sampled in order to analyze chlorophyll and iron (Fe) concentration and content, area, fresh and dry weight, specific weight per area. Iron content per individual leaf was a good parameter to separate dark green leaves from chlorotic ones in both trials, while Fe concentration on DW basis was not. Chlorosis occurrence always decreased leaf dry weight and specific weight per area.
