Citrus trees liquid fertilizer NPK 5-5-7 with trace elements, 1L container

The Citrus Trees Liquid Fertilizer NPK 5-5-7 with trace elements is a mineral fertilizer that perfectly meets the nutritional needs of citrus trees. It promotes the growth, flowering, and fruiting of orange trees, lemon trees, kumquats, or other lime trees grown in the field or in pots. Sufficiently concentrated but without excess, it prevents and corrects deficiencies while fertilizing the soil without unbalancing or polluting it when used wisely and at the recommended doses. Packaged in a 1L container, it allows for the preparation of 250 litres of nutrient solution.

Citrus trees are demanding bushes that must not lack warmth, water, or food in order to give their best. They are sensitive to iron chlorosis (yellowing of the leaves) in calcareous substrates or if regularly watered with tap water, which is also calcareous. To prevent this, a fertilizer enriched with chelated iron will be welcome. A substrate enriched with trace elements also helps limit the premature dropping of young fruits in formation. Finally, to obtain abundant and high-quality fruiting, it is necessary to provide them with a potassium-rich fertilization.

This mineral fertilizer, which comes in the form of a concentrated solution to be diluted in irrigation water, is perfectly adapted to the needs of citrus trees. It does not come from organic matter derived from living organisms, but from inert mineral matter like certain rocks. Its formulation is NPK 5-5-7 with trace elements. This means that it is composed of:

• 5% Nitrogen (N): this element contributes to the development of non-reproductive aerial parts of the plant, especially the leaves and stems.
• 5% Phosphorus (P), which strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.
• 7% Potassium (K): essential for good harvests, it promotes flowering and fruit development.

• Water-soluble trace elements: 0.013% Boron (B), 0.003% Copper (Cu) chelated by EDTA, 0.021% iron chelated by EDTA (Fe), 0.011% Manganese (Mn) chelated by EDTA, 0.001% Molybdenum (Mo), 0.006% Zinc (Zn) chelated by EDTA.

Uses: from March to October.

Dosage: 1 capful or 20 ml/ 5L of water

To live and multiply, plants need water, about twenty essential nutrients that they find in mineral form in the soil, carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in the air, and solar energy essential for photosynthesis. The basic elements, called macronutrients, are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They must be present in the soil in significant quantities. The secondary elements, less important in terms of quantity but nevertheless essential, are calcium (Ca), sulphur (S), and magnesium (Mg). Finally, trace elements, necessary in very small quantities, are represented by iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), and silicon (Si). The role of a fertilizer is to compensate for soil deficiencies and provide, through optimal dosage, the elements that promote plant growth, flowering and fruit production, or root, bulb, and tuber development.
