Three Gorges Reservoir area. The average water
requirement for citrus annual growth was 1187.0mm
(Tan 2019). Although annual rainfall in Three
Gorges Reservoir area of Chongqing is more than
1200 mm, there was regular extreme high tempera-
ture or drought in summer and autumn. Which
leaded to shortage of water in flower bud
differentiation phase, and autumn- shoot delayed and
not mature, affecting the yield and bring serious
losses.
This experiment was conducted based on
different amounts and types of fertilization. It was
found that combined fertilization with water and
fertilizer could not only effectively solve the drought
problem from July to September, but also improve
the yield, quality and benefit of citrus. The fruit and
economic traits of different treatments were
significantly different from those of ck. This
experiment was only carried out for two years, and
there was no statistical information of nutrient
elements in fruit and tree body, which was needed
further research.
5 CONCLUSION
In this study, the fruit appearance, quality and
economic benefit of Tarrocco blood orange were
analyzed in different models, and the conclusions
are obtained as below:
(1) The results indicated that, in the same
fertilizer, the water-soluble fertilizer and compound
fertilizer treatments (WFCs) proce-ssed larger fruit,
higher yield, better quality and late-ripening than
traditional fertilization or single water-soluble
fertilizer.
(2) Analysis of comprehensive benefit show-ed
the scheme of Tarrocco blood orange in Three
Gorges Reservoir Region was that water-soluble
fertilizer (different ratio of N, P

(0.67kg every tree in all) a year, including 2 times in
July and August, and according to fruit size, one
time (1.23kg every tree) of compound fertilizer was
applied in time after raining in August, which
increased 189.93% in economic benefits than CK.
