Grow Oranage with : Smart Nutrition Tips
Achieve higher Orange yield and vibrant fruit quality with precise plant nutrition.
Challenges in Orange 1. Dense and tall tree canopy: Manual spraying cannot reach inner and upper canopy effectively.
2. Multiple flowering flushes: Requires precise spraying during flowering, fruit set, and fruit development.
3. High pest & disease pressure:Psylla, aphids, mites, fruit fly, citrus canker require repeated sprays.
4. Thorny branches: Manual spraying causes physical injury to labour. Most critical stage in Orange crop: Flowering & Fruit setting
Most important Nutrient & Micro Nutrients Required for Orange:- Potassium, Calcium & Boron
Why Potassium, Calcium & Boron is Critical for Orange
1. Improves flower retention & fruit set
2. Increases fruit size, juice content, TSS & colour 3. Essential for quality and shelf life
4. Prevents flower drop & misshapen fruits How Agricultural Drones Help in Orange Spraying
1. Uniform spray coverage on top and inner canopy
2. Better penetration due to drone downwash effect
3. No physical contact with thorny branches
4. Saves 60–75% labour cost
5. Reduces water usage by 80–90%
