Super Citrus Tablets

The Super Citrus Tree Fertilizer Tablets are the result of a request to us from Naples Fertilizer & Garden Center of Naples, FL. They wanted a citrus tree fertilizer tablet of the same specification as their citrus tree granular fertilizer, which was formulated several years ago to meet the need of Florida citrus trees.

The advantage of Lutz Super Citrus Tree Fertilizer Tablets over broadcasting granular fertilizer is that the Tablets feed for up to 12 months. For example, soil testing done by Dr. Arvel Hunter of Agro Services of Orange City, Florida, documents that 70% of broadcasted fertilizer is lost in sandy soils after 10" of water (rain + irrigation). The average annual rain plus irrigation in Florida is over 65 inches, therefore it takes several broadcast feedings to achieve the results of one Lutz Citrus Tree Fertilizer Tablet feeding.


How Lutz Citrus Tablets Work On Citrus Trees

  • Install Lutz Citrus tablets in the root zone area.
  • Each tablets contains elements required in citrus trees, plus elemental sulfur which create an environment in the feeding area to assist in the uptake of these elements. Special binders safely release the elements over time.
  • When placed in the ground, the tablets dissolve slowly for up to twelve months. Lutz tablets work underground at the feeder roots to release the elements where the trees get their nourishment. They can't wash away like surface applications.

Suggested Coverage & Placement of Tablets

Use 5 tablets per inch of trunk diameter. Place tablets two to four inches deep, equally spaced around the drip line. Reapply annually.

  • All Lutz tablets are made to feed for twelve months.
