PROBLEM<\/strong>
\nAt this time in the La Plana area of Castell\u00f3n<\/strong> there is a marked drop in citrus leaves. Most are leaves that have not been affected by spider attacks and usually fall to the ground with the petiole.<\/p>\n

This situation is caused by the lack of cation exchange in the drip bulb.<\/p>\n

It is a cause produced by the hardness of the irrigation waters of La Plana Alta area. This type of water greatly hinders the microbial activity in the drip bulb and consequently, a good part of the mineral salts provided with the fertilizers and the salts provided by the irrigation water pass into primary mineral form.<\/p>\n

Now, at the beginning of vegetative activity, the trees activate their root system and it is in a hostile environment and consequently suffers burns, loss of secondary roots and absorbent hairs that result in this defoliation.<\/p>\n
