Silicon and phosphorus impacts on seasonal nutrient dynamics and tree performance of citrus sinensis L. under endemic Huanglongbing conditions
The study provides evidence that foliar Si application can support nutrient acquisition and plant development in citrus, especially in a low P availability scenario. Integrating Si into nutrient management programs may enhance the resilience and productivity of citrus trees under variable environmental and soil fertility conditions especially under the endemic conditions of citrus greening in Florida.
