Common challenges with lemons

Leaf yellowing
Salinity sensitivity
Poor flower to fruit conversion
Heat stress

Global lemon production is estimated to be around 10 million tonnes. Lemons, a citrus fruit native to Asia, are known for their tart flavour and vibrant yellow colour. They are a good source of Vitamin C and citric acid, which give them their sour taste and make them useful for cleaning and preserving food.
