AsiaQ.Hi Community. Citrus Orchard Dimensions Are 25 Ft × 25 Ft.Age Is 10 Years.We Normally Do Intercropping In It.Like Fodder,maize Wh
eat etc etc.I need suggestions from respected community about intercropping.Is it good to do it?? If yes then what are your suugestions about planting maize in it.Maize would reach a height of i think 6 ft.So its height will stop ventilation through the orchard.Weather would be very hot in upcoming days.i am talking about growth stage of maize and before harvesting.So high tempera ture or height of maize or ventilation or any other factor would be an issue or not?? Thank u all.

43542 SwedenQ.How To Get Rid Of Infection On My Citrus Plants
Hi, my citrus plants have been affected with some kind of bugs that leave a trail of glue/shiny substance on the leaves as well as some brown small particles that look like insects on them. I have tried to clean with dishwashing liquid over and over again as well as some kind of pesticide which I bought. It keeps coming back and infecting all other plants. Help on how to get rid of them and how to protect my indoor plants for being affected by any bugs. thanks Selly

The fruit is still on it but some look dried up! When do I fertilize and how deep do I water! I have tangerine, orange, lime and lemon. All look about the same! Please help!!

July 17, 2020Q.What’s this plant, I think it might be Narang but I’m not sure, it came out with my tomato plant?
I planted the Narang seeds , and I got it immediately from the fruit, which the fruit was in Iraq. so are those Narang or shrubs.

Certified ExpertA.I didn't find a reference for what Narang seedlings look like, but it may be a type of creeping grass. Do you have a local nursery or horticultural department at a university you could consult?

July 20, 2020Q.I Am Growing What Is Known As “Bhudda’s Hand” It Is Now At Least Five Years Old, It Was From A Broken Branch And I Put It In
the ground not knowing whether it would grow or not. It sat dormant for some time and after about 1yr it started to sprout a leaf or two so I planted it out in the ground with other succulents. I must have put it in the right place because today it has grown to 2 (two) metres tall with 3 - 4 side branches When do you think I might see fruit growing on it. Is there an age they need to grow too to start to fruit.? What say ye.? Thanks Graham Hallam Hamilton, New Zealand

Certified ExpertA.If the parent tree was of fruiting age, then yours is likely fruiting age as well.
What will determine fruiting now will be root ball size and care. Since it has recently started to grow, actively, I would say that it can be in as little as 1 year from the start of active growth.
Proper care will be the way to ensure that this tree will produce soon. Here is an article that will help:

Certified ExpertA.Survive? Yes. Survive happily? Probably not.
Your best defense, here, will be biofungicides to stave off infections.
