Abstract
By using nutritional diagnosis of citrus leaves and determining soil micronutrients, the relationship between soil micronutrients and citrus growth in southern China has been studied.Studies showed that there was a significant positive correlation between available micronutrients (such as Zn, Mo, Cu) in the soil and the corresponding nutrients in citrus leaves. Thus, one can roughly learn of the sufficiency or deficiency of certain nutrients in soils by analyzing citrus leaves. Rational spray of Zn B or Mo fertilizer not only improved citrus yields but also increased the total sugar of Satsuma mandarin and of Xinhui orange by 2.9 and 17.2% respectively compared with the control. Spraying Mo fertilizer increased the vitamin C content of Satsuma mandarin juice by 4.7%-8.4%, maturated fruits 7-10 days earlier and gave the peel a brighter color.The ultramicroscopic characteristics of Zn-deficient citrus leaves were investigated under an electron microscope. Results showed that the Zn-deficient leaf cell was characterized mainly by poor cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticula and ribosomes and by big starch grains in the chloroplast. As a result of spraying Zn fertilizer the structure of the cell returned to normal, the cytoplasm became rich and the amount of chloroplast increased. There also appeared a great deal of multiform endoplasmic reticula, thus promoting the photosynthesis of Zn-deficient plants. This provides a cytologico-theoretical basis for fertilization of high-yielding citrus trees.
