Nutrient Use Efficiency in Citrus

Abstract: During the past decades, commercial citrus producers throughout the world have been facing serious challenges including restrictions on water, fertilizer and agrochemical use, potential treats of devastating diseases, and fi erce competitions for global markets. In an era of increased focus on sustainable development, smart technologies, and resource conservation, there has been gradual shift from increasing yield and maximizing pro fi ts to making better use of technical innovations to ensure more ef fi cient… Show more

“…In this study, the AE and PFP of perennial fruit crops were significantly lower than those of annual fruit crops (Figures 8 and 10), due to the higher application rate of N, P, and K fertilizer in perennial fruit crops ( Figure 5). Moreover, perennial fruit crops generally had a higher nutrient utilization rate compared to annual fruit crops because the former crops have xylem stored nutrients, prolonged growth and development stages, and dense distribution of roots [66,67]. Thus, the projected AE and PFP of perennial fruit crops in China's fruit crops could be doubled through a decrease of fertilizer input and a yield increase in the future.…”

“…Examples of fertilizer and crop management scenarios have been modeled in Zimbabwe and Kenya (Tittonell et al, 2006, 2007, 2008) and the United States (Ma et al, 2005, 2006; Saseendran et al, 2009, 2010). Such mathematical models may be used to assess the effects of management practices and pedoclimatic conditions on crop water and fertilizer requirements, soil moisture dynamics, crop water and nutrient uptake, and potential nutrient leaching (Scholberg and Morgan, 2012). Robust models that have worked elsewhere and could be calibrated and used for predicting crop yield in several scenarios of agroecologies in southern Africa include the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) and its submodels (Jones et al, 2003), the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) (Ahuja et al, 2000), and Field‐scale resource Interactions, use Efficiencies and Long‐term soil fertility Development (FIELD) (Tittonell et al, 2010).…”

“…Most of the fruit crops by the virtue of their woody framework (Nutrients locked therein), extended physiological stages of growth, differential root distribution pattern (root volume distribution), growth stages from the point of view of nutrient requirement, and preferential requirement of some nutrients by specific fruit crop, collectively make them nutritionally more efficient than the annual crops (Scholberg and Morgan, 2012). In the backdrop of demography -driven diminishing per capita availability of land (more so in fruit crops), sustaining soil fertility management has gained a greater significance in meeting the multipronged challenges of sustaining the quality production on one hand and ensuring the carrying capacity of soil health on the other hand (Srivastava et al, 2002).…”
