| IPM Compatibility: |
Per Requester: Very Good fit; Kimzall ME may give citrus growers an opportunity to increase fruit size without overusing water and fertilizer. Kimzall ME has low toxicity to humans (Caution signal word) and is non-toxic to pollinators and beneficial insects. Kimzall ME is effective at increasing fruit size in other commodities such as grapes, blueberries, and kiwi:06/26;

| Reasons for need: |
Increase fruit size and increase fruit set. Increase fruit size. The value of citrus fruit is determined, in large part by size, with larger fruit being more valuable. It is very difficult to achieve large size and high piece count, at the same time. The increased cost and lack of water along with the increased cost of fertilizers further complicate the issue. Kimzall ME should provide larger fruit size while maintaining high piece count which will increase grower returns. Current technologies used: Irrigation, fertilization, and when possible, early harvest, are currently used to increase fruit size:06/26;
