#afd428;\"><strong>\u00bb Lemon plantation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7When are lemon trees planted?<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon trees are trees that demand warm temperatures, so the best time to plant them is in <strong>spring or autumn.<\/strong> Their ideal temperature is around 15-21<sup>o<\/sup>C and they do not tolerate frost.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, it should be noted that if the crop is to be planted without irrigation, it should be grown in the rainy season and in the cooler hours of the day.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7How are lemon trees planted?<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon trees are planted with two objectives in mind:<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Absorb as much incident light on the trees as possible.<\/li><li>Facilitating the operation of machinery inside<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, several planting frames are usually used depending on variety, planting or crop conditions: 6.5 x 5; 6.5 x 6; 7 x 5.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Edaphoclimatic requirements<\/strong><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Soil<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon trees require <strong>permeable, deep, low salinity, low limestone and well-drained soils.<\/strong> These trees are sensitive to root asphyxia.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, lemon trees prefer <strong>slightly acidic soils rich in organic matter.<\/strong><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Climate<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon trees do not tolerate low temperatures. It is the most sensitive citrus species to cold, so it is recommended to be planted outdoors in areas where the climate is temperate. The ideal climate for its correct development is the <strong>Mediterranean climate<\/strong>.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Orientation on the plot<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we have already mentioned, lemon trees are planted with the aim of getting the maximum amount of light and easy access for agricultural machinery.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #afd428;\"><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> <strong>Care requirements for the lemon tree<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">-Soil preparation for growing lemons<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soil preparation for lemon trees consists of:<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Eliminating weeds and control their growth<\/li><li>Leveling the ground<\/li><li>Aerating topsoil<\/li><li>Incorporating fertilisers or organic matter<\/li><li>Achieving a well-drained soil<\/li><li>Decreasing soil salinity<\/li><li>Preparing irrigation systems<\/li><\/ul><h3> <\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Lemon tree irrigation<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lemon trees require <strong>frequent and abundant watering<\/strong>, keeping the roots constantly moist, but <strong>without waterlogging<\/strong>. In summer, daily watering is recommended, while in winter they should be watered 2-3 times a week.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best option for these trees is to implement a drip irrigation system. Generally, for an adult lemon tree, 4 drippers are placed all over the wet bulb and at about 50 cm from the trunk, with a recommended flow rate of 4 L\/h.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Pruning the lemon tree<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the first 6 months, it is recommended to prune young lemon trees every 15-20 days, in order to eliminate &#8220;suckers&#8221;. After that, during the first year, it is advisable to prune every 3 months to give the trees the desired shape and to avoid crossing branches.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mature trees are pruned in spring, after harvesting. Dead, weak or diseased branches are removed, leaving the centre open to allow light to reach the interior of the tree.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The types of pruning practised on lemons are:<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Formative pruning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This type of pruning is carried out when the tree is one year old. This is done at the end of the dry season, before growth starts again with the first rains.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this pruning, the main branch is separated and once the side shoots emerge, only three to five main branches are left.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Fruiting pruning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During fruiting pruning, the branches are thinned and trimmed to encourage flowering and fruiting. In addition, it also serves to improve aeration and light penetration, thus preventing diseases.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Sanitation pruning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is often carried out with the aim of removing diseased or broken branches.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Rejuvenation pruning<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This type of pruning consists of removing almost all the branches of the tree, keeping only the main branches. This provides new and vigorous growth and is therefore recommended for old trees or trees that have suffered from disease.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #afd428;\"><strong>\u00bb<\/strong> <strong>Nutrients needed for growing lemons<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main nutrients needed by lemon trees are:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Macronutrients<\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Nitrogen<\/strong>: It&#8217;s an essential element for growth, flowering, productivity and fruit quality.<\/li><\/ul><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Phosphorus<\/strong>: It&#8217;s involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins; essential in the production and transport of energy and in the processes of respiration and photosynthesis.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Potassium:<\/strong> the most important element in lemon fertilisation.
