खट्टे फलो की खेती में पोषक तत्‍वों संबंधी विकार एवं उनका प्रबंधन The productivity as well as the quality of citrus fruits is affected to a greater extent due to the physiological and nutritional disorders. In citrus fruits, the deficiency of micronutrients causes many more disorders than that of macronutrients. Nutritional disorders have become widespread with diminishing use of organic manures, adoption of high density planting, use of root stocks for dwarfing, disease and salt tolerance, unbalanced NPK fertilizer application. To get high quality fruit and yields, micronutrient deficiencies have to be detected before visual symptoms are expressed. 1. Boron deficiency in Citrus Symptoms: Citrus trees deficient in boron produce distorted leaves. Mature leaves show corking or splitting of veins and midrib. Leaves are twisted. Fruits tend to be hard and mis-shaped. Cracking of fruits is also seen. Brown gum pockets are seen in the albedo and around the seeds which may be aborted. Corking of veins is seen as in the greening disease and in the yellow corky vein disease.   Boron deficiency symptoms on leaf and fruit Correction Deficiency of this nutrient can be overcome by spraying 0.1 per cent solution of either borax or boric acid. 2. Copper deficiency Copper deficiency is seen in situations where zinc, iron and manganese deficiency are seen and when copper based fungicides are not...
