Phosphorus - maintain long-term productivity

Potassium - establish good early growth

Fruit Set

Nitrogen - maintain leaf growth, flowering and strong fruit set

Potassium and Magnesium - continued strong growth

Calcium - provide good fruit productivity and quality

Sulfur - to improve fruit set and fruit retention

Zinc, Manganese and Iron - to maintain fruit yield and quality (Mn and Zn should be applied with each leaf flush)

Boron - minimize fruit drop, prevent fruit deformities or storage problems from peel breakdown

Fruit Enlargement and Maturation

Nitrogen - maintain yields and improve skin thickness and fruit acidity

Potassium - maximize fruit fill and fruit size, productivity, skin quality and vitamin C content and reduce granulation and fruit splitting

Calcium - boost leaf growth and tree vigor and reduce skin disorders including fruit splitting and albedo breakdown

Magnesium - maintain fruit fill, fruit size and condition

Zinc - maintain fruit quality

Molybdenum - improve juice content, quality and provide a thicker skin

Copper - prevent fruit corking

Manganese and Boron - maintain fruit yield

Post Harvest

Nitrogen - to encourage active flush of foliage

Phosphorus and Potassium - maintain long-term tree productivity

Calcium - to maintain tree root health and productivity and to encourage leaf flush

Iron, Manganese and Zinc - when needed for post harvest foliage flush
