Ingenious Uses of Amino Plus Foliar Fertilizer on Citrus

Amino plus foliar fertilizer is a commonly used foliar fertilizer for citrus. Its main features are fast absorption, providing quick nutritional supplementation through foliar spraying, promoting growth, and enhancing photosynthesis. It is suitable for use after citrus harvesting, during flowering periods, fruit retention, fruit enlargement, improving fruit surface, improving tree vigor, and enhancing stress resistance, among other applications.

Composition and Effects of Amino Plus Foliar Fertilizer

Composition

The main components are amino acids and trace elements. Some manufacturers may add nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, etc., making the nutrition more comprehensive and the effects better.

Effects

Rapid nutritional supplementation, enhanced nitrogen absorption, increased chlorophyll content, improved photosynthesis, promoted growth and development, improved stress resistance, prevention, and correction of nutrient deficiency symptoms, etc.

Ingenious Uses of Amino Acids on Citrus

1. After Harvesting: The main focus is root fertilization to supplement nutrients and restore tree vigor, satisfying the nutritional needs of flower bud differentiation, and enhancing the tree's cold resistance. For weak trees, amino plus foliar fertilizer can be sprayed to quickly restore vigor.

Plan: Use amino acids alone, and integrate brassinolide in cold weather.

2. During Flowering: For trees with weak vigor and a large number of flowers, besides root fertilization, amino plus foliar fertilizer can be sprayed to quickly supplement nutrients and improve flower quality.

Plan: Use amino acids alone, and integrate brassinolide in cold weather.

3. For Fruit Retention: Spray amino plus foliar fertilizer during fruit retention to quickly supplement nutrients. Together with regulators, it can promote the maturation of spring shoots, green coloration of young fruits, fruit enlargement, and increase fruit set rates.

Plan: Amino acids + potassium dihydrogen phosphate + brassinolide/cytokininm + gibberellin.

4. During Fruit Enlargement: The main focus is root fertilization to supplement nutrients. For trees with a heavy fruit load, spraying amino plus foliar fertilizer can promote rapid fruit enlargement.

Plan: Amino acids + urea/potassium dihydrogen phosphate/balanced foliar fertilizer.

Improving Fruit Surface: For thick-skinned fruits, fruits harmed by red spider mites, or those slightly sunburned, spraying regulators + amino plus foliar fertilizer during the fruit enlargement period can adjust the tree’s nutrition, rapidly supplement nutrients, and promote growth, improving the fruit surface.

Plan: Amino acids + medium trace elements/calcium + 6-BA, amino acids + 6-BA.

6. Improving Tree Vigor: For weak trees and those with ordinary chlorosis, the main focus is root fertilization and regulation. Additionally, spraying amino plus foliar fertilizer can quickly supplement nutrients, increase chlorophyll content, enhance photosynthesis, and promote growth to improve tree vigor.

Plan: Amino acids, amino acids + urea, amino acids + urea + sodium nitrophenolate.

7. Enhanced Stress Resistance: During adverse weather conditions such as low temperature, extreme heat, or prolonged rainfall, which hinder the growth of fruit trees, spraying amino plus foliar fertilizer can quickly supplement nutrients, enhance stress resistance, and mitigate the impact of adverse weather.

Plan: Amino acids, amino acids + brassinolide.

8. Promoting Growth in Young Trees: The main focus is root fertilization to supplement nutrients. Spraying amino plus foliar fertilizer can quickly provide nutrients, increase chlorophyll content, enhance photosynthesis, and promote faster growth of young trees.

Plan: Amino acids, amino acids + urea/balanced foliar fertilizer/potassium dihydrogen phosphate. 

Most amino plus foliar fertilizers are suitable for medium-vigor citrus trees, weak trees, and trees with ordinary chlorosis.
