| Popis: | Mineral nutrition is one of the most important components of citrus production management. The volume of production and fruit quality are closely related to mineral nutrition given to citrus trees. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels on yield, fruit size, fruit weight and fruit quality (juice content, sugar content, acidity and maturity index) of the clementine (Citrus reticulata Blanco) var. Sidi Aissa grafted onto sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.). The study was conducted in field condition in Tadla region, Morocco. Treatments consisted of four different levels of nitrogen (N: 0, 30, 110, 250 kg/ha), phosphorus (P2O5: 0, 10, 45, 100 kg/ha) and potassium (K2O: 0, 30, 110, 240 kg/ha) in an incomplete factorial randomized block design. The results of this study showed that the different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium had significant effects on all the parameters studied. The highest values for yield, fruit size, fruit weight and fruit quality (juice content, total soluble sugar, acidity and maturity index) were obtained with 110 kg/ha, 10 kg /ha and 110 kg/ha of N, P2O5 and K2O respectively. The results of this study provide new knowledge to optimize the yield and fruit quality of clementine Sidi Aissa with better nutrient management in the field conditions of Tadla region.
