Anbautipps

Control Asian citrus psyllid aggressively — it vectors Huanglongbing (citrus greening), the most devastating citrus disease globally with no cure.

Graft onto disease-resistant rootstock (Carrizo citrange, Swingle citrumelo) rather than growing from seed — rootstock determines cold tolerance, disease resistance, and tree size.

Apply nitrogen in 3-4 split applications (Feb, May, Aug, Oct in northern hemisphere) rather than a single dose — citrus trees absorb nutrients slowly and excess leaches easily.

Maintain a weed-free zone 1-2 m around the trunk to prevent Phytophthora crown rot — mulch helps but keep it 15 cm away from the trunk.

Irrigate deeply but infrequently during fruit development — consistent moisture prevents fruit splitting, while brief dry stress before harvest concentrates sugars.

Prune only to remove dead wood, water sprouts, and crossing branches — heavy pruning reduces yield for 2-3 years and exposes bark to sunscald.
