CompleteCitrus crop solution represents Yara's commitment to providing citrus growers with the best available information and tools to manage their production optimally, with minimum environmental impact, consistently from one year to the next.
Yara’s Complete Citrus Solution is a commitment to continuous improvement to optimize our nutrition management practices. Tree health is recognized as a major element in sustainable production. Balanced nutrition is also fundamental in establishing and maintaining optimal performance and tree longevity that together support increased production. A commitment to comprehensive nutrition management can not only increase the efficiency of our nutrition inputs, but it can also increase the relative value of our fixed costs, increase our production, and profitability. Review some of the resources collected here and reach out to your local Yara Agronomist to discuss your site-specific needs.
In tree crops, it takes time before changes in the nitrogen regime become visible, but it pays off. This trial shows that calcium nitrate provided higher yields in the long term, with a $16,000/acre accumulated ROI.
With the strengthening of cell structure and protection against stresses, fruits and vegetables with a healthy supply of calcium nitrate are visibly healthier, more vibrant in color and are blemish-free inside and out. When YaraLiva is included in a fertilizer program, fruit and vegetables also keep their weight and quality for a longer time period; keeping them fresh until enjoyed by consumers.

Yara has been actively involved in the citrus greening issue in Florida, working with researchers to help find a way to mitigate or reduce the severity of the disease. We are sharing this knowledge to help California citrus farmers learn from this experience and hopefully avoid the devastating impact Florida farmers endured.
