Abstract:Purpose: Based on its crucial regulatory role in several biochemical processes, potassium (K) is considered to greatly influence fruit yield and quality. Methods: Two field experiments were carried out in two seasons (2021 and 2022) to explore the response of lemon (Baladi cv.) trees grown in K-deficient soil to four different K fertilizer sources applied individually as a foliar spray. K citrate (KC1 = 1.3 vs. KC2 = 2.6 g L− 1), K nitrate (KN1 = 1.5 vs. KN2 = 3.0 g L− 1), K tartrate (KT1 = 1.5 vs. KT2 = 3.0 g… Show more
