Effects of Foliar Application of Organic Extracts on Growth of Lemon (Citrus Limon)

The new concept Urban Horticulture which enforces growing family sufficient food in urban and peri A field experiment was conducted at the College of Agricultural Technology, Theni. The trial was conducted in citrus crop in the campus, to study the effect of foliar spray of organic extracts of plants. The field experiment consisted of three treatments viz., Azolla, Neem and Garlic extract. Nitrogen pollution from agriculture is a major challenge facing our society today. Biological nitrogen fixation is key to combat the damage that is caused by synthetic nitrogen. Foliar spray of Azolla, Neem and Garlic extracts increase the growth parameters in citrus tree. They are ideal candidates for fast nitrogen fixation and increase the macro nutrient level in plants. This study aimed to investigate the optimal growth enhancement due to the foliar spray of azolla, neem and garlic extracts. The growth conditions that were investigated included the growth parameters and biological analysis. These foliar spray solutions directly influence of growth in citrus plants
