6. MANURES AND FERTILIZERS   Taiwan of Where to Take a Citrus Leaf Sample for Analysis (3RD or 4TH Leaf of a Current-Year Spring Flush, on a Non-Fruiting Twig)   Acid lime Which Has Been Given Too Much Nitrogen Fertilizer. the Fruit Have Thick Peel, a Low Sugar Content and Delayed Color Break .

7. Symptoms of Severe Nitrogen Deficiency. the Tree Lacks Vigor, the Yield Is Low, and Leaves Are Yellow or Pale Green. Leaves Fall Early, As They Do Also in Orchards Which Are Infected with Nematodes. Several Deficiency Symptoms (Iron, Manganese and Zinc) Occurring Together in a Wentan Pummelo Tree Grown in a Calcareous Soil. Some Young Leaves Are a Conspicuous Whitish-Yellow Color, Showing Iron Deficiency, While Others Show Typical Symptoms of Zinc or Manganese Deficiency.

16. LEAF CATERPILLER To prevent it spray quinalphos 25EC @ 2ml/litre is sprayed to control.

17. SUCKING PESTS WHITE FLY To control it spray QUINALPHOS 25 EC @ 2ml/liter

18. FRUIT SUCKING MOTH To control this prune the weathered shoots for about 4 cm of height and spray MONOCROTOPHOS 36 WSC @ 1 ml/litre or QUINALPHOS 25 EC @ 1 lit EC.

19. Fruit fly Prune the withered shoots of about 4 cm below the dried portions and spray MONOCROTOPHOS 36 WSC @ 1.5 ml/lit

20. METHODS OF PROPAGATION IN ACID LIME May to July is the ideal period for air layering. ... Propagation by cuttings: In this  method , cutting of plant parts (specially stem, leaf or root) are used for  propagation . Hard wood and semi hard wood cuttings are generally used for  propagation .
