What causes newly formed fruit to fall off in citrus trees?
The shedding of young fruits in May is a natural but challenging process in citrus orchards.
The most important factors for this decline include:
– Competition between fruits and leaves for food resources
– Environmental stresses (heat, drought, cold)
– Deficiency of nutrients such as calcium and boron
– Poor pollination or excessive fruiting the previous year
