Luisa O. Macedo; Rodrigo M. Boaretto; Rodrigo Jacobassi; et al. Citrus Research & Technology 2017. doi:10.4322/crt.icc099
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Boron, zinc and manganese are limiting micronutrients for citrus production in Brazil.
- 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 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.
