Hello. We started growing lime at our organic farm in Hunsur Karnataka in the month of February. A few plants had leaf yellowing problem for a while. We figured we were over watering. so we reduced watering. Now we are getting good flush but have leaf curl problems. We needed help to identify the core problem, and organic solutions for this.
