Soil beneficial bacteria: Harnessing tools for optimizing citrus growth and soil health in pH-stressed soils. [PDF]

J Environ Qual
Abstract Rhizosphere bacteria can support crop production by promoting plant health, soil fertility, and resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the potential role of soil‐beneficial bacteria, particularly plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), remains inadequately explored in citrus production ...

Controlling factors of environmental flooding, soil pH and Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil feeding in citrus: Larval survival and larval growth

Applied Soil Ecology, 2007
Abstract The underlying influences of soil flooding, pH level and soil-inhabiting Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil larval feeding in citrus were examined in two separate greenhouse studies, rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (RFD) and liming × rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (LRFD).
