Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Boron is prone to soil leaching, and metallic micronutrients have lower plant availability.
- Method / resource Suspension concentrates of sparingly soluble inorganic micronutrients have yielded a wide range of commercial products.
- Intervention effect Soil application of sparingly soluble sources reduces metal adsorption.
- Mechanism Foliar particles can sustain micronutrient supply over prolonged leaf growth.
- Mechanism Gradual nutrient release may lower absorption rate and phytotoxicity risk.
- Observation The review reports satisfactory results for sparingly soluble sources.
- Recommendation Further studies are needed to validate foliar efficacy before recommending these products to citrus growers.
