Elaborated by our specialists, Yara's Citrus Crop Nutrition Program for citrus can help you to achieve excellent crop performance.

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.

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.

Citrus fruit number needs to be carefully managed and a strong supply of virtually all major and micronutrients is critical to fruit set and fruit number. Application of fertiliser prior to flowering and then through to fruit set and early fruit fill is critical to maintain high numbers of fruit per tree.

Peel splitting is often caused by extreme fluctuations in soil moisture as well as temperature and humidity.

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.
