This project is an continuation of an objective of existing CRDF funded project (# 00124558 ; ended in March 2019, final report submited to CRDF) with some added treatments to be evaluated in comparison to control (dry conventional fertilizer with foliar micronutrients).  Objective 1 which is the continuation of # 00124558 included 10 treatments.Altogether currently there are 25 treatments of citrus nutrition that are being compared to control. Within this quater the we successfully applied Fall fertilizer, in order to avoid Tiger Sul fertilizer due to low soil pH concern we soil applied micronutiorents in sulfate form. In addition, in this quater detailed statistical analysis was conducted and the juice smaples from spring were being analyzed for analytical flavor profile, this work is still underway.
