Citrus Fertilizer Program for South Africa

MaxGrowPlus liquid fertilizer programs for citrus are designed for South African growing conditions. Our nutrient systems support vegetative flush, flowering, fruit set and fruit development for improved yield and fruit quality

Citrus Growth Stages and Nutrient Requirements

Citrus crops follow repeated cycles of vegetative flush, flowering, fruit set and fruit development. Proper nutrient availability supports tree health, fruit quality and consistent production

Vegetative Flush Stage

Trees produce new leaves and shoots. Adequate nutrition supports strong vegetative growth and canopy development.
Flowering Stage

Trees begin flowering. Nutrient availability supports flower formation and reproductive development.
Fruit Set Stage

After flowering, fruit begins to form. Proper nutrition supports fruit set and reduces drop.
Fruit Development Stage

Fruit grows and develops in size. Adequate nutrition supports fruit size, quality and uniformity.
Post-Harvest Recovery

After harvest, trees recover and prepare for the next cycle. Proper nutrition supports tree strength and future production.
