Balanced nutrition is very Important for high yield, quality and resistance to diseases, however very few farmers use micronutrient fertilizers. Due to low organic matter in Indian soil, excessive use of DAP and introduction of high yielding cultivars and fast growing tissue culture plants, deficiency of micronutrients has become a major problem. But soil degradation, poor root health and excessive use of phosphorous has made correction of nutrient disorders through soil very difficult. The efficiency of utilisation of soil applied micronutrient is only 3 to 5%. Hence, “Citrus Special” foliar spray as a part of Integrated Nutrient Management has become important in enhancing the yield and quality of Citrus.
How to use:
Add 75 g of Citrus Special + one shampoo sachet + Juice of 2 lemon fruits in 15 litres of water and mix thoroughly before spraying.
Spray before flowering and continue at monthly interval till the harvest of the crop.
For better results it should be applied during dull sunshine hours (morning or evening) and bright sun light be avoided.
