Winter's prebloom foliar spray application of low biuret urea (46-0-0) has been shown to greatly increase both the number of spring flowing and the yield of fruit.  Proper timing of the spray is important to achieve the desired outcome.  The good news is that the winter prebloom spray will increase the flower number and the fruit yield without reducing the fruit size. The most effective application time is around the time of irreversible commitment to flowering which is about 1-1/2 to 2 months before the tree's expected flowering date.  In California and for citrus trees grown in colder regions, but inside greenhouses,  the period generally is from December 15 to January 15  which seems to be appropriate in most years.  Additionally, later spray applications (March and April) of fertilizer increase the retention of abscising fruit. A low biuret urea is a urea that contains 25% or less biuret. The above spraying progam greatly increases your tree's chance of producing a good crop of healthy fruit next spring. - Millet
