Response of Young Lemon Trees to Potassium and Zinc Application — Yield and Fruit Quality1

Year: 1973

Type: article

Abstract: Yield of young lemon trees increased with either soil application of K 2 SO 4 or foliage application of KNO 3 in an orchard where leaf K was low. Leaf Zn was low but one annual foliage spray of ZnSO 4 (control in this study) supplied adequate Zn and there was no response to additional Zn sprays. Peel thickness decreased, and percent juice and percent acid in the juice increased with added K.
