e0“fertilizing ‘Murcott’ mandarin trees with 75% of the recommended dose (RD) of nitrogen as inorganic nitrogen (33.5% N) in the form of NH4NO3 + 25% of RD as organic nitrogen in the form of chicken manure (3% N) per tree per year without or with a biofertilizer (Effective Microorganisms, EM1) at 150 mL/tree increased the weight, size, pulp, and peels of mandarin fruit, as well as the fruit juice volume, juice volume/fruit, and vitamin C, but reduced the total acidity in both seasons.”

- Intervention effect Mixed inorganic and organic nitrogen with or without EM1 increased fruit weight, size and pulp.
- Intervention effect The mixed nitrogen treatments reduced fruit total acidity.
- Intervention effect Fully inorganic nitrogen increased the pulp to fruit ratio.
- Intervention effect The 25% inorganic and 75% organic nitrogen treatment with EM1 increased peel ratio, thickness and firmness.
- Intervention effect Fully organic nitrogen with EM1 increased soluble solids and sugars.
- Intervention effect Fully organic nitrogen with EM1 produced the lowest fruit nitrate percentage.
- Intervention effect Fully organic nitrogen with or without EM1 yielded higher soluble solids, carbohydrates and sugars than inorganic nitrogen with EM1.
- Intervention effect Fully organic nitrogen with or without EM1 yielded lower nitrate percentages than inorganic nitrogen with EM1.
