Citrus Fall Nutrition Will Set the Stage for Spring Flush

When planning a fall nutrition application for your citrus crop, it is vital to consider what the trees are demanding during the next few physiological occurrences.

YaraLiva® TROPICOTE™ is a key input of the CompleteCitrus Solution. YaraLiva TROPICOTE supplies the right source of nitrogen and calcium that are completely plant-available and in the preferred form for immediate uptake.

Utilizing this source of N and Ca at this time can benefit your crop in many ways:

  • Increase root quality and quantity, which allows more efficient uptake of water and other key nutrients needed throughout the tree.
  • Calcium is crucial for cell wall development which aids in mitigating stress such as disease pressure and increasing overall resiliency to get through the upcoming dry months and dormancy.
  • YaraLiva TROPICOTE supplies readily available N and Ca that increase the uptake of other key nutrients such as K and Mg. Having these nutrients available in the tree leading up to the spring will result in a more vibrant flush, which leads to an increase in fruit development.
