Abstract

Tangarine production is a significant economic activity in the Neretva valley. The main sort of tangerines is Unshiu (Citrus unshiu Marc.), which was introduced into this area about 40 years ago. Its characteristcs include higher resistance to low temperatures and a higher percentage of dry matter compared to other sorts of Mediterranean tangerinces. Analysing eight representative areas, a good supply level with macroelements has been stated, while the supply level with microelements is significantly poorer. When it comes to the macroelements, there is the lack of three key elements for the tangerine growing - boron, iron, and mangan. At the same time, higher quantity of natrium in the soil has been measured as the result of using low-quality irrigation water. Since almost 90 % of the total number of tangerine trees in Croatia is found in the area mentioned, the theme discussed is even more significant.
