Correlation of Soil Characteristics and Citrus Leaf Nutrients Contents in Current Scenario of Layyah District

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Soil with low fertility is a big problem for achieving citrus productivity. In this regard, the management of macro and micronutrients is essential. Macro and micronutrient deficiency decreased the yield and the quality of citrus fruit. It is the need of the hour to classify the soil fertility status under changing climatic scenarios. The current soil fertility survey was conducted to examine the macro and micronutrient status in the citrus production area. In soil, three depths (0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm) were taken for sampling. For leaves, 4-6-months-old non-bearing twigs were sampled from 20 trees per orchard at breast height. Results showed that soil pH (7.1-8.4) was slightly alkaline, electrical conductivity (EC) was non-saline (&lt;4 dSmMINUS SIGN 1 ), soil organic matter (SOM) was deficient (&lt;0.86%), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) was slight calcareous (&lt;8%), at 0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm depths. The majority of soil samples were low in nitrogen (N) contents at all depths, i.e., (&lt;0.043) 0-15 (85%), 15-30 (97%), and 30-45 (100%) cm depths. Phosphorus (P) was medium (7-15 mg kgMINUS SIGN 1 ) at 0-15 cm (60%) but low (&lt;7 mg kgMINUS SIGN 1 ) at 15-30 (63%) and 30-45 cm (82%) depths. Potassium (K) was medium (80-180 mg kgMINUS SIGN 1 ) at 0-15 (69%), 15-30 (69%), and 30-45 cm (10%) depths. Boron (B) and manganese (Mn) were medium, and Cu was high in 0.15 cm, but all were low at 15-30 and 30-45 cm depths. Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were low at depths of 0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm. Most citrus leaves were deficient in N (94%), Fe (76%), Zn (67%), and B (67%). In conclusion, soil fertilization is not sufficient for optimum citrus yield because of alkaline pH and slight calcareous soil conditions in this region. Foliar application of nutrients is suggested instead of only soil fertilization, for better nutrient management in citrus orchards.
