Compost and rootstock effects on fibrous root physiology and bacterial community composition in young citrus trees under endemic Huanglongbing.
PubMed · 2026-06-16
Adding compost to citrus groves improved soil health and root activity, but couldn't overcome the devastating effects of citrus greening disease — the rootstock the tree was grafted onto mattered far more for actual fruit production.
1
Compost improved soil organic matter, pH, nutrients, and moisture, and increased fibrous root respiration and root length — real belowground gains.
2
Despite measurable root and soil improvements, compost had no effect on tree size or fruit productivity under citrus greening disease.
3
Rootstock selection, not compost application, was the primary driver of tree growth and yield among the four rootstocks tested.
