World Fertilizer Use Manual - Citrus - Removal of mineral elements in the harvested fruit is one of the major considerations in formulating fertilizer recommendations. Nitrogen Fertilizing for Citrus - As citrus growers, we need to make several decisions before applying fertilizers to our trees.
Citrus - Fertilizer Recommendations - Minimal pruning is generally carried out on citrus grown in New Zealand, thus the quantity of nutrient which needs to come from soil reserves or fertilizer applications in a cropping orchard, depends on that removed in harvested fruit.
Boron Is High in Many
Southern San Joaquin Valley Citrus Trees - Many
citrus trees in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley are grown on
moderately calcareous soils and frequently have high levels of boron in the leaf
