Hi Joe. Apply good amount of Farm Yard manure or Vermicompost once in 6 months along with 19:19:19 complex fertilizers or you can also use fertilizer calculater available here on home page of Plantix to increase your crop growth and productivity.

Joe After pruning citrus plant, you need to treat with fungicide. Have you done that? If not the fungal infestation started already. That's why the plant naturally started Dieback of Stone Fruit disease. Pls cut again down side and treat with copper oxychloride wettable powder dissolved in water. Hope that it helps 😁

Great Joe, you were quite right. But you missed to use an effective fungicide. You can choose also Saaf that is Mancozeb or mancozeb +carbendazim 72% wp.
