Abstract:Background: In the present research, the effects of foliar application of seaweed extract, fulvic acid, and potassium silicate on leaf mineral contents, chlorophyll content, fruit yield, and quality, as well as physiochemical attributes of ‘Page’ mandarin fruits were evaluated.
Results: Leaves of trees fed with seaweed extract, fulvic acid, and potassium silicate accumulated greater concentrations of N (15.09–22.16%), P (20–120%), K (17.02–46.80%), Ca (1.69–32.76%), Mg (26.31–84.21%), Zn (199.87–261.76%), Mn (… Show more
