Integrated Nutrient Management in Citrus

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Citrus by its avid nutrient-absorbing capacity, is considered a highly nutrient-responsive perennial fruit crop. Differential efficacy of two conventional methods of fertilization (soil versus foliar application), although helped in improving the quality citrus, but of late, continuous fertilization, has failed to sustain the same yield expectancy on a long-term basis due to depletion of soil carbon stock and consequently emerged multiple nutrient deficiencies, irrespective of soil type. The menace of multiple nutrient deficiencies would be further triggered through increase in air temperature via changes in microbial communities and activities within the rhizosphere in the light of climate change. Such changes will dictate adversely on the orchard’s productive life in the long run.

Gradual shift from purely inorganic to organic fertilizers started gaining wide-scale use for enhanced biogeochemical nutrient cycling. Long-term data accrued on response of organic manuring versus inorganic fertilizers demonstrated that important soil quality indices like soil microbial diversity, soil microbial biomass nutrient (Cmic, Pmic, and Nmic), and organic carbon partitioning displayed significant changes but without much difference in quantum of fruit yield. The other approaches involving multiple microbial inoculation along with enrichment of organic manures through inorganic fertilizers known as substrate have further been highlighted as a part of INM module to provide an understanding on mechanism involved in C stabilization in soils for regulating soil C sequestration and associated nutrient dynamics under INM-based production system in citrus orchards. Integration of such microbial consortium with organic manures and chemical fertilizers (basis for INM-based nutrient management) in addition to concepts like sensor-based programmable fertigation and precision-oriented site-specific nutrient management exploiting spatial variation in soil fertility and leaf nutrient composition could further provide the much desired niche in the production sustainability through engineering nutrient dynamics within the rhizosphere under changing climatic scenario.
