Using Nova PeKacid and Agrolution pHLow to Improve Lemon Yield

Using ICL’s Nova PeKacid with Agrolution pHLow dramatic improves the yield and quality of lemon crops.

Standing in a vibrant-looking lemon orchard, Field Manager Ángel Michel Figueroa explains the differences he has seen in his lemon trees when using ICL products. He compares lemon trees that were fertilized with a combination of ICL’s Nova PeKacid and Agrolution pHLow with trees that did not get this treatment. There are clear differences between the trees, which Ángel describes as evidence of the products’ effectiveness.

We have noticed the trees are greener and more vigorous, with larger and more robust fruits.

Improved Fruit Yield and Quality

Senior ICL Technical Sales Manager Mateo Martinez takes us further into the lemon orchard to show us the trees that didn’t get the ICL fertilizer treatment. The visual differences are obvious, with the trees in this part appearing less vigorous and having a lower fruit load. But it is not just the number of fruits that Mateo points out.

Collecting a sample of fruit from each tree, Mateo shows us that the fruit on the ICL fertilized trees are larger and of better quality. He explains how all these benefits were achieved using ICL’s Nova PeKacid and Agrolution pHLow.

Nova PeKacid

Nova PeKacid is ICL’s highly acidic, fully-soluble phosphorus and potassium fertilizer formulated for fertigation applications for calcareous soils and/or high bicarbonate content irrigation waters. PeKacid is easy to dissolve and has an anticlogging action to provide blockage-free irrigation for open-field or soilless crops.

Agrolution pHLow

ICL’s range of Agrolution® pHLow water-soluble fertilizers helps give crops the perfect amount of nutrients while resolving issues surrounding water quality in hard water areas. The high-potassium NPK formula used in this orchard was ideal for stimulating healthy growth and crop production in the orchard. And with its increased purity, solubility, and acidifying effect, the irrigation systems are protected from harmful deposits and blockages.
