Dear Jovi Sir, with my crop experiance of acid lime, iwant to inform you ,that…

it may not be suffering with any diseases

I think sufficient nutritions are not supplied to your lime plant. It appears like, the plant is suffering with deficiencies. Pl apply immediately with one tub FYM (25 kgs), 1 kg Neem cake, 1/4 kg jetropha cake and 4 kgs vermi compost. Observe soil water condition.

Acid lime is a crop which needs considerable sun light. It appears that the plant is in more shade. pl check.

All the best to you. g.p.rao, farmer

thanks for the quick reply, You might be correct about the nutrition deficient as we never put anything to the plant.

I want to know few things.

  1. what is tub FYM(25kg)?
  2. At my place its raining quite heavy is this right time to apply the suggested nutrition’s.

thanks

FYM= Farm Yard Manure=Cow dung+straws from the cow barn.

Tub= Basket

for FYM raining has no effect. but ensure it should not flood and wash away the manure.

If this is only one tree, you can make a home compost with vegetable leftovers,Cofee grind, Tea leaves(leftover), leftover buttermilk, the water from coconut(usually it is thrown in most house after cracking the coconut for chutney). If butter is washed the water drained from butter, the water from washed rice.

Use all the ingrdients for the compost. All the above enhance microbial activity and improve flowering. This cannot be done if you have many trees.
