Soil incorporation of poultry litter can damage roots of citrus trees grown on shallow soils in southern Florida. Using an alternative application method, young `Minneola' tangelo trees ( Citrus reticulata  Blanco ×  C. paradisi  Macf.) on Cleopatra mandarin rootstock ( C. reticulata  Blanco) on bedded groves in southeast Florida were fertilized for 18 months after planting with surface-banded poultry litter (PL) overlaid with wood chips (WC). PL/WC was applied at 142, 284, and 425 kg·ha -1  N in two applications/year in one 0.6-m band within the dripline of trees planted at 278 trees/ha. Other treatments with different N rates included 220 kg·ha -1  N broadcast in the middle of the bed twice a year and 116 kg·ha -1  N as controlled release fertilizer applied within the dripline of trees in three applications per year. Eighteen months after planting, growth of trees receiving PL/WC treatments of 142, 284, and 425 kg·ha -1  N per year and 116 kg·ha -1  N per year was similar and greater than growth of trees receiving PL broadcast in grove middles at 220 kg·ha -1  N per year. Soil P, Ca, and Mg levels beneath the three banded PL/WC treatments were higher than in other treatments; in all treatments leaf N levels were optimum, but leaf P, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe levels were excessive. Banded PL/WC treatments applied at 142 kg·ha -1  N per year and even lower rates may be adequate for growth of young citrus trees, especially in terms of reducing excessive soil and leaf nutrient levels.
