planted?<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best time of the year to plant orange trees is <strong>in spring<\/strong>, when there is no risk of sudden frosts, usually <strong>between April and June.<\/strong><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7How are orange trees planted?<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, the most commonly used <strong>planting frame<\/strong> for this type of tree is <strong>6&#215;3<\/strong>, which allows the fruit to be harvested using specialised machinery and facilitates pruning.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Edaphoclimatic requirements<\/strong><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Soil<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Orange trees prefer soils of <strong>medium consistency (sandy or sandy loam texture), well drained, deep and fertile,<\/strong> with a pH between 6 and 7.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is important to note that a proportion of more than 50 % clay in soils significantly affects root growth. In addition, they do not tolerate salinity.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Climate<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The orange tree is a <strong>subtropical species<\/strong> and therefore does not tolerate frost. It is not very cold hardy and does not require chilling hours for flowering. In addition, during the summer it <strong>needs warm temperatures<\/strong> for the correct ripening of the fruits.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides, it is a tree that <strong>requires a lot of rainfall<\/strong>, which must be supplemented by irrigation in the event of insufficient rainfall.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Orientation on the plot<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The orange tree should be planted <strong>facing the sun and sheltered from the wind.<\/strong> It is a tree that requires a lot of light for the flowering and fruiting processes and is very sensitive to wind, and may suffer fruit loss due to vibration transmission.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Care requirements for the orange tree<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Soil preparation for orange tree cultivation<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soil preparation for orange trees consists in:<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Eliminating weeds<\/li><li>Aerating topsoil<\/li><li>Incorporating fertilisers or organic matter<\/li><li>Increasing water retention capacity<\/li><li>Preparing for flood irrigation.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The soil <strong>is tilled 3-4 times a year<\/strong>, between March and September. The rest of the year, the soil is maintained with a vegetation cover.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00b7Orange tree irrigation<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Orange trees need <strong>a lot of water between spring and autumn.<\/strong> Generally, watering is done every 3-5 days if localised irrigation is used or every 15-20 days if flood irrigation is used.<\/p><p>Nowadays, in-ground drip irrigation is commonly used, which optimises irrigation and improves the efficiency of nitrogen fertilisation. In addition, this irrigation system reduces the evapotranspiration of the crop.<\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>Orange tree pruning<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The orange tree has a ball-forming habit and production on the periphery. For this reason, they are pruned in order to lobulate the shapes (make them protruding) <strong>to improve the light reaching the surface<\/strong> and thus increase production.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, training pruning is very controversial. As an evergreen species, orange trees accumulate reserves in the branches, shoots and leaves, and when pruning is carried out, the harvest decreases proportionally.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some authors recommend pruning every year while others recommend pruning every 3-4 years to clean the centre of the tree.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u00bb <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Necessary nutrients for the cultivation of orange trees<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main nutrients that orange trees need 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 sugars and nucleic acids and in the plant&#8217;s energy processes.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Potassium:<\/strong> It&#8217;s essential as a coenzyme and in protein synthesis, photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Magnesium:<\/strong> It&#8217;s constituent of the central atom of the chlorophyll molecule.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Calcium:<\/strong> Most of its activity is due to its coordination capacity, as it is able to establish stable and at the same time reversible bonds between molecules.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>Sulphur:<\/strong> It&#8217;s a key in protein synthesis as it is an important component of some amino acids and coenzyme A.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Micronutrients<\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li><strong>I<\/strong><strong>ron<\/strong>: It&#8217;s essential for photosynthesis and respiration.<\/li><li><strong>Zinc:<\/strong> It&#8217;s involved in various enzymes.<\/li><li><strong>Manganese:<\/strong> It&#8217;s involved in the activation of numerous enzymes.<\/li><li><strong>Copper:<\/strong> It enables enzyme bonds in redox reactions.<\/li><li><strong>Molybdenum:<\/strong> It&#8217;s involved in atmospheric nitrogen fixation and nitrate reduction. <\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The deficiency or insufficiency of any of these mineral elements can negatively affect the development and productivity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fertiliser for orange trees<\/strong><\/p><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\"><li>What fertilisers does the orange tree need in its cultivation?<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we have already seen in the previous section, the main components that orange tree fertiliser should contain are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Citrus trees generally require large amounts of fertiliser, which accounts for a large part of the costs.
