Kaffir Lime With Yellowing Leaves

My kaffir lime tree (about feet tall) is having yellow leaves. The leaves would change color from light green to yellow. The change is evenly on a leaf. It used to respond positively with chicken manure, but not in the past 3 months. There are other trees around it, the closest one is about 1 foot away. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have Chlorosis. This article will help with that:

I would also just give it a balanced fertilizer. Chicken manure is mostly nitrogen and there may be an imbalance in the soil.
