Citrus: products indicated and the dose in each data sheet

Orange, mandarin and lemon trees repeat the same calendar every year: the spring flush, which carries the flower; the drop of recently set fruit at the start of summer, when the tree adjusts the load it can carry; the fruit filling out during summer and autumn; and the colour change through to harvest, which in some varieties overlaps with the next flowering. The fruit stays months on the tree, and the nutrition has to sustain the fruit, the leaf that feeds it and the summer and autumn flushes, which will be next year's wood, all at once. In calcareous soils and with hard water, the availability of iron, zinc and manganese is watched throughout the whole cycle.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names citrus in its list of crops. In the dose line, our data sheets do this in two ways: some write citrus by name within the list of fruit trees, and most publish a dose for fruit trees —or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheet names citrus but does not publish a dose for fruit trees: in that row we write nothing and refer you to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet indicates for fruit trees. Each dose line starts with the use exactly as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and continues with the quantity. What is not in the table is in the data sheet: the application timing, which every data sheet publishes in its dose block, the precautions and the mixing incompatibilities. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your farm is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the water and the state of the citrus trees, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
