Guidelines for Soils
- CEC values or range of 20-30
- Organic matter range of 4% to 6% as a minimum
- pH range 4.5 to 5.5
- Preplant materials should be lower in pH values with the addition of citric acid in multiple treatments: 1-2 gallons per acre as a 12% to 25% solution
- Excess nitrogen may limit fruit production during fruit enlargement stage
Observations
- Tissue samples are required in 30-day intervals.
- Loss of cane production will require adjustments in n: k ratios.
- Increase in fruit sizing needs are derived from calcium applications of 880 plus and rates can be increased by 50%.
