An updated nutrition book for citrus growers is available from the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

The third edition of the Nutrition of Florida Citrus Trees is a guide to help growers cope with citrus greening, or huanglongbing, according to a news release.

“Much of the information provided in this document on nutrients, application methods, leaf and soil sampling and irrigation scheduling also helps greening-affected trees,” Davie Kadyampakeni, assistant professor of soil and water sciences at the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center and co-editor of the latest nutrition guide, said in the release.
