abstract

Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:

That the micronutrient nutrition of citrus trees may be changed by continued heavy applications of commercial fertilizers has been indicated by several reports. However, there is very little available experimental evidence from field studies on the influence of soil applications of phosphate, potash, and dolomite fertilizers on the micronutrient concentration in Valencia orange leaves.
