#ProductmL/LRole
1Base-Line2.0fulvic gel — chelator + mild acidifier
2Topraq-Fe1.5Fe — chelated, works in alkaline soil + foliar uptake
3Topraq-Mg3.0Mg — citrus loves Mg, chlorophyll core
4Topraq-Mn1.0Mn — co-deficiency with Fe in alkaline
5Topraq-Zn1.0Zn — citrus often Zn-deficient, supports auxin + new growth
6HESI TNT Complex (vegetative complete food)5.0N + balanced NPK + vitamins + amino — for new growth
7Fast-Line1.5Carboxylic acid — uptake + tank pH drop
8Alga-Line2.0Chlorella biostimulant
9Bacto-Line1.5Bacillus shield — LAST in tank

Intentionally excluded

plagron-bat-guano — P-rich; not needed for citrus rescue + Alt Bahçe context.
quadro-k-DRT — K supply better delivered via separate monthly soil drench (not in rescue foliar).
topraq-b — Citrus is B-sensitive — skip until soil tested.
topraq-ca — Sulfates in tank. Also citrus tolerates Ca well from soil/water — no foliar Ca needed.
topraq-cu — Kills Bacto-Line; conserve Cu for orchard/disease use only.
uan-32-igsas — Too concentrated; HESI TNT is safer N source for stressed plant.

Total ~18.5 mL/L (~1.85% v/v). Higher than gardenia chlorosis recipe because (1) citrus is hardier, (2) adding Zn + HESI for N + new growth push, (3) citrus container rescue benefits from comprehensive nutrition. 1 L tank covers single tree generously. PAIR WITH SOIL FLUSH within 7 days — foliar alone won't fix salt buildup.
