- Association Leaf potassium concentration was positively correlated with root decay and shoot dieback.
- Intervention effect Supplemental soil fertigation with micronutrients, calcium and magnesium nitrate significantly increased fibrous root density relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Supplemental soil fertigation with micronutrients, calcium and magnesium nitrate reduced the root decay percentage relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrition with magnesium nitrate significantly improved citrus decline indices: leaf fall, shoot dieback and leaf special weight.
- Intervention effect Foliar nutrition with magnesium nitrate significantly improved leaf water content and fruit quantity and quality in Valencia oranges.
- Intervention effect Supplemental soil fertigation with calcium nitrate significantly improved citrus decline indices in Valencia oranges.
- Recommendation Balanced potassium consumption in citrus orchards is recommended.
