The blight spreads through an infected tree, invading and colonizing the plant's roots, leaves, and trunk. As of 2020, neither the causal agent nor the spreading mechanism of the disease is known. [2] Research by the Citrus Research and Development Foundation posits the blight is caused by an endogenous plant pararetrovirus (EPRV). [3]
When your lemon is indoors for the winter, you may need a humidifier to keep the leaves from drying out and dropping off—unless you are keeping your potted citrus in a greenhouse. Citrus needs ...

This Ascomycete fungus affects citrus plants throughout subtropical climates, causing a reduction in both fruit quantity and quality. [citation needed] Symptoms include both fruit and leaf lesions, the latter being critical to inter-tree dispersal. Strict regulation and management is necessary to control this disease since there are currently ...
Iron deficiency showing chlorotic leaves in a lemon tree. Compare yellow chlorotic leaves with the green non chlorotic leaves at left of this image. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a plant disorder also known as "lime-induced chlorosis". It can be confused with manganese deficiency.
Another form of abscission is fruit drop, when a plant abscises fruit while still immature in order to conserve resources needed to bring the remaining fruit to maturity. If a leaf is damaged, a plant may also abscise it to conserve water or photosynthetic efficiency, depending on the 'costs' to the plant as a whole. The abscission layer is a ...

Plants infected with citrus canker have characteristic lesions on leaves, stems, and fruit with raised, brown, water-soaked margins, usually with a yellow halo or ring effect around the lesion. Older lesions have a corky appearance, still in many cases retaining the halo effect. The bacterium propagates in lesions in leaves, stems, and fruit.
