The Influence of Potassium Applications and Nematocides on the Potassium Nutrition of ‘Valencia’ Orange Trees on Replant Citrus Soil1

Year: 1977

Type: article

Abstract: Soil application of K 2 SO 4 with a nematocide, Aldicarb, significantly increased the level of K and fruit size of ‘Valencia’ orange trees ( Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) growing on soils previously planted to citrus. Foliar applications of KNO 3 , KCl, and K 2 SO 4 were less effective. Aldicarb, where applied singly every third year, only controlled the citrus nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb for one year following it's application.
