The root cause of soil shifting from fertility to infertility is due to improper soil management.  

Decreased use of organic manure and excessive use of chemical fertilizers are some of the many factors that reduce soil fertility and adversely affect orange and citrus crops.

When pH levels in the soil increase excessively, which is the boosted indication of acidity or alkalinity of the soil (Measured in pH units). This raise in soil pH makes farmland rigid and this does not allow proper drainage of water in the soil. 

Other major causes of infertility include nutrient mining from the soil. 

Plants naturally mine nutrients from the soil to support their growth, when the portions of nutrients pulled from the soil in harvested products surpass the quantities of nutrients being applied, chemical soil deficiency takes place. 

As the amount of organic carbon in the soil decreases, the number of bacteria in the soil shrinks too, and for this reason, the crop does not get the nutrients that are crucial for crop growth.

This is where soil conditioner plays a significant role. 

Manure, green manure, sugarcane manure, and vermicompost are the major soil conditioners being used for farming. These are important organic fertilizers for good yield yet only 15% to 20% of farmers utilize them because they are not easily available to farmers, farmers have to spend absurd amounts in order to import them from other towns/states; moreover, these manures are not always of good quality. Hence, Privi Life Sciences offers Geoxol.com organic manure to farmers which is a viable alternative for Farm Yard Manure (FYM). Orange and sweet lemon farmers can mix it in the soil in granule or liquid form via drip irrigation/drenching. 

Its use reduces the level of pH around the roots of the crop, increases the amount of organic matter by 30%, and moisturizes the soil.

For the high yield of orange and sweet lemon, their flowering stage is enormously important thus, Privi has plant stimulator named AMPLY5 that enhances flowering and fruit setting. 

On the other hand, climate change is leading to biotic and abiotic stress in orange and sweet lemon plants. Privi Life Science's SiLIXOL nutrient based on patented OSA technology alleviates abiotic and soil-related stress (acidity, alkalinity,heavy metal toxicity) in plants occurred by fluctuating temperatures. 

siLIXOL helps in immaculate growth of orange and sweet lemon crops by maintaining their nutrient balance and eliminating flower buds and fruit cracking. siLIXOL stabilizes all the required nutrients (Calcium, iron, boron, zinc, maganese) in soil for bigger fruits and higher yields. 

Calcium deficiency does not stimulate fruit growth and causes them to break down and fall off. Hence Privi has developed Calsi-B++ product 

which is a superior organically chelated water soluble Micronutrient formulation based on the patented Encapsulation Technology. It also contains zinc, Boron, Mangnesium, Silicon which accelerates flowering and fruit growth in orange and citrus trees giving them perfect flexibility, in low expenditures. In addition, using Calso-B++ results in gum, charcoal and black spots reduction. 

It is essential to boost the immune system in these crops. Thus, Privi has invented Nutrifight (Nutrient-based immunity booster) which is the first-ever formulation in India designed to provide dual benefits of providing nutrition to the plant and strengthening it against Pathogen attacks. This contains 96% activated compounds of Potassium salts in long chain Phosphorous. 

When immunity is boosted in orange and sweet lemon crops; the plant can fight against fungus, bacteria and virus attacks easily and can grow adequately.
