Deskripsi

The benefits of having healthy soil can include better water-holding capacity, increased nutrient availability and greater microbial activity. These traits can potentially lead to increased root growth and nutrient uptake by a tree. For citrus affected by huanglongbing (citrus greening), increased root growth and nutrient uptake can be critical as the disease significantly impacts these functions in the tree.
