Foliar micronutrient applications enhance growth and yield of huanglongbing (HLB)‐affected sweet orange

Abstract: Florida citrus production has declined by more than 70% because of Huanglongbing (HLB), and a major cause of tree decline is nutrient uptake limitations caused by HLB. This study was conducted on 6-9-year-old "Valencia" sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] on Swingle rootstock in the central and southwest Florida to evaluate the effects of macronutrient fertilization and foliar application of Mn and Fe on growth and yield of HLB-affected citrus trees in Florida. Seven treatments, including a control (sta… Show more

“…An example of research focused on foliar application of substances into plant leaves is the study of agrochemicals to treat citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), 4 , 5 a bacterial disease of citrus that has spiraled the Florida citrus industry to the brink of disappearance and actively spreading across other regions of the world on a large scale. 6 In the case of HLB infections, therapies considered against the causative bacterium Candidatus liberibacter (CLas) 7 include treatment with antimicrobial agents as a promising alternative to enhance the crop’s lifespan.…”
