How to increase citrus yield
High citrus yields come from the correct balance of fruit number on the tree and then ensuring they reach an optimum fruit size and weight.
Balanced crop nutrition of all major and micro nutrients is essential to help build a tree structure that can support this fruit load and ensure that the fruit fills to potential as well as meet the market requirements.
Citrus deficiencies
Identify and diagnose nutrient deficiencies in your citrus and learn how to control or correct the deficiency. Start by selecting a nutrient below.
How nutrient management can affect citrus
Increasing Citrus Fruit Size
Crop load determines fruit yield and size and a too high fruit number can result in small fruit. The use of careful thinning and growth regulators can reduce the number of fruit to an optimum amount per tree.
Increasing Citrus Fruit Weight
Trials have shown that balanced nutrition with N, P, K, and the micronutrients, boron, iron, manganese and zinc, will help to improve citrus yield through increasing fruit weight.
It is important to make sure that these nutrients are not limited during...
Preventing Citrus Peel Splitting
Peel splitting is often caused by extreme fluctuations in soil moisture as well as temperature and humidity.
How to make better informed nutrient decisions
Our collection of tools help you to make better nutrient decisions in making the right fertiliser choice and applying the right amount of nutrients at the right time and in the right place so that the crop yield and quality can be maximised whilst still keeping costs in check, avoiding over-fertilisation and protecting the environment.
