Nitrogen deficiency on orange made worse by
- Low or high pH soils
- Sandy or light soils (leaching)
- Low organic matter
- Drought conditions
- High rainfall (leaching) or heavy irrigation
- Addition or high levels of non-decomposed organic matter/manure (eg straw)
- Fast growing crops
Nitrogen is important for
- Foliage lusher and greener
- Shoot growth vigour increased
- Fruit set/crop load increased
- Yield is increased
- Juice quantity and quality improved (acidity and soluble solids increased)
Yara recommended fertilizers for Nitrogen
YaraBela® CAN-27™
Oranges: For young trees up to 2 years old apply .75 – 1.25 lbs YaraBela® CAN-27/tree/year. For mature trees apply 500-800 lbs YaraBela® CAN-27/acre. Apply pre-bloom for best results. Utilizing YaraBela® CAN-27 for part or all of the nitrogen needs supplies the crop with fast acting nitrate nitrogen. Consult with your agronomist for local recommendations.

Oranges: For young trees up to 2 years old apply 1.5-2 lbs YaraLiva® Calcinit® 15.5-0-0 19 Ca/tree/year. For mature trees apply 900-1400 lbs YaraLiva® Calcinit® 15.5-0-0 19/acre via fertigation. Apply pre-bloom for best results. Utilizing YaraLiva® Calcinit® for part or all of the nitrogen needs supplies the crop with fast acting nitrate nitrogen and supplies soluble calcium in proper ratio with nitrate nitrogen. Calcium is important for cell wall strength and to limit physiological disorders such as cracking and creasing. Consult with your agronomist for local recommendations.
