2015 Fruit Drop Trial: Premier Citrus

CitraPak reduced fruit drop by over 50%. The standard fertility plan resulted in an average fruit drop of 103.7 pieces per tree. The CitraPak plot averaged 41.3 dropped pieces per tree. CitraPak combines nutritionals with a proprietary package including mycorrhizae and rhizobia.

In a 11-week study that evaluated fruit drop counts, CitraPak reduced fruit drop by over 50%. Fruit drop from ten trees per

block were evaluated each week to determine differences.
