Acid lime

Acid lime — 5Crop stages

  • Pruning, zinc spray and mulching

    Remove branches on the main stem up to 45 cm from the ground. Regularly cut off dried twigs together with about one inch of green wood below, and burn them. Spray zinc sulphate 0.5% (500 g per 100 litres) three times a year — March, July and October — after new flushes appear. Mulch the basins with dry leaves or paddy husk about 10 cm thick.
