PCS 16
Kalpa Series
Targeted multi-nutrient plant food formulated to optimize fruit set, leaf canopy health, and yield in citrus and avocado trees.
Short Description
Why Choose this product
Citrus and avocado trees are heavy nutrient consumers, particularly during fruit set and developmental sizing. They are highly sensitive to soil salinity and chloride toxicity, making standard synthetic agricultural fertilizers risky for long-term tree health. Ecotika Lemon and Avocado Plant Food delivers targeted nutritional advantages:
-
Chloride-Free Potassium Profile: Utilizes premium sulfate and nitrate-based potassium sources to safeguard delicate feeder roots from chloride burn while driving fruit sugar and oil synthesis.
-
Bio-Organic Nitrogen & Carbon Base: Built on dense, slow-release botanical protein meals that release nitrogen steadily, preventing sudden vegetative flushes that can trigger blossom drop.
-
Complete Secondary Element Support: Contains vital secondary macros (Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur) necessary for rind formation, cell wall integrity, and chlorophyll production.
-
Sustained Rhizosphere Activation: Stimulates beneficial soil organisms, enhancing nutrient transport and improving moisture retention around root networks.
Product Desciption
Ecotika Lemon and Avocado Plant Food is a professional-grade agronomic solution developed specifically for woody fruiting perennials that require elevated potassium and secondary minerals for optimal fruit quality and leaf health.
Avocado and citrus trees exhibit unique physiological traits: citrus requires balanced nitrogen-to-potassium ratios during fruit filling to prevent fruit splitting and pale foliage, while avocado trees demand steady organic nitrogen and magnesium to maintain dense, disease-resilient leaf canopies capable of supporting heavy crop loads.
This formulation addresses these specific metabolic requirements by providing immediately soluble potassium and nitrogen alongside slow-release mineral phosphorus and rich organic carbon meals. As the soluble elements kickstart plant metabolism, the organic matrix undergoes gradual microbial breakdown, supplying a steady stream of secondary nutrients (Magnesium and Sulfur) essential for chlorophyll production, photosynthesis, and essential oil synthesis. The inclusion of bio-available calcium strengthens cellular walls within developing fruit, reducing rind tearing and improving post-harvest firmness.
Suitable Plants & Conditions:
-
Target Crops: Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Kumquats, Grapefruit, Avocados, Guavas, Mangos, and subtropical fruiting shrubs.
-
Growing Substrates: Well-drained sandy loam, orchard field soils, raised beds, and large patio containers/tubs.
Problems this product helps address
-
Yellowing Foliage & Leaf Chlorosis: Corrects nitrogen and magnesium deficiencies that cause pale, yellowing leaves on citrus and avocado branches.
-
Premature Fruit Drop: Helps trees retain heavy fruit sets through critical cell division and sizing phases.
-
Fruit Splitting & Thin Rinds: Delivers calcium and potassium to reinforce fruit skin strength and structural integrity.
-
Salt Stress & Root Burn: Replaces harsh chloride-based fertilizers with gentle, low-salt mineral and organic inputs safe for sensitive surface roots.
Application method and dosage
Application Method:
Broadcast granules evenly around the soil surface under the tree canopy, starting 6 inches away from the main trunk out to the drip line. Lightly work into the top layer of soil without disrupting surface roots, then irrigate thoroughly.
Recommended Dosage Rates:
| Application Site / Container Size | Application Dosage | Application Frequency |
| 8″ – 10″ Container | 20 g – 30 g | Every 30–45 days |
| 12″ – 14″ Container | 40 g – 50 g | Every 30–45 days |
| 16″ – 18″ Container | 75 g – 100 g | Every 30–45 days |
| 20″ – 24″+ Container / Large Tubs | 120 g – 150 g | Every 30–45 days |
| Young Field Trees (1–2 years old) | 150 g – 250 g per tree | Every 60 days during active growth |
| Established Orchard Trees (3+ yrs) | 300 g – 500 g per tree | Every 60–90 days during active growth |
Note: Do not pile fertilizer directly against the main trunk.
Precautions & Storage:
-
Store in a cool, dry location in a tightly sealed original container.
-
Protect from direct sun exposure and atmospheric humidity.
-
Keep out of reach of children and domestic animals.
-
Wear protective gloves when handling bulk quantities and wash hands after use.
FAQ(s)
-
Why do Citrus and Avocado trees need a specialized fertilizer formula? Both crop types require high levels of chloride-free potassium and secondary minerals like magnesium for fruit production and leaf canopy maintenance. Standard lawn or garden fertilizers often lack secondary elements or contain high salt levels that damage feeder roots.
-
How does this product help prevent citrus fruit splitting and premature drop? It provides a steady supply of bio-available potassium and calcium, which reinforce fruit cell walls and regulate osmotic pressure, reducing stress-induced fruit drop and rind splitting.
-
How often should I apply this fertilizer to container-grown citrus? Apply every 4 to 6 weeks throughout the active vegetative and fruiting season (spring through early autumn).
-
Can this product be used on young, non-fruiting fruit trees? Yes. It provides gentle, organic-based nitrogen and phosphorus that build sturdy root systems and leaf canopies in young trees without root burn.
-
Is this fertilizer safe for indoor wintered potted citrus? Yes. Reduce application frequency by half during dormant or reduced-light winter months when indoor plants grow more slowly.
-
Does this product help correct yellow leaves (chlorosis) on avocado and lemon trees? Yes. It supplies plant-available magnesium and nitrogen, which are essential for chlorophyll synthesis and correcting interveinal yellowing.
-
Should I water my trees after applying the fertilizer? Yes. Immediate irrigation helps activate the mineral components and initiates the microbial breakdown of the organic seed meals.
-
What is the shelf life under proper storage conditions? When stored in a sealed bag or container in a cool, dry area, the product remains stable for up to 24 months.
