I am seeing heavy flowering and fruit set in Sunraysia citrus right now.
The heavy flowering is causing a draw down in tree carbohydrates as the trees try to support normal function as well as hold and develop new fruitlets. This is causing an increase in plant stress hormones that can be managed through a balanced nutrition program.
Many nutrition programs put a high emphasis on nitrogen but nutrients have different functions within the tree and therefore a balanced nutrition plan that changes with growth stages, weather conditions and management strategies is essential to promoting tree health and fruit yield, size and quality this season.
Getting it right at the beginning sets you up for Harvesting results!
