Citrus Crop FAQs

Key Considerations for Citrus Crops

Pest Management

Pests are a major issue for citrus crops. In addition to citrus greening, which is transferred by certain insects, these pests also feed on all areas of citrus plants, reducing yield. Diseases also have a negative impact on citrus crops, making pest management and fertilizer applications an important line of defense.

Water, Soil & Other Crop Considerations

While citrus crops can be grown on a wide range of soils, ideal conditions include well-drained and well-structured soils with good aeration and low salinity. They’re very sensitive to moisture stress, especially at critical stages of the growth cycle. This is particularly true at stage 2, or cell enlargement, when water stress can impact fruit growth and size. Poor water management can damage tree roots and negatively impact yield.

Flowering intensity can be influenced by crop load and the amount of growth in the previous year. Additionally, temperature can influence timing of growth and flowering
