Since immobile elements do not move within the plant, the deficiency symptoms associated with the lack of these elements occur in younger leaves. However,  mobile nutrients can move out of older leaves to younger parts of the plant if supplies are inadequate. Because of their mobility inside the plant, visual deficiencies will first occur in the older leaves.
