Who uses citric acid?
Been using 2 tbs per liter for maintenance against mites, inhibit mold/mildew and supposed increase in vigor and possible increased oil production, especially when used in combination with salicylic acid.
Hoping it might help enhance terpene content in late flower actually too.
Citric acid (CA) is a six carbon organic acid, having a central role in CA cycle in mitochondria that creates cellular energy by phosphorylative oxidation reactions.
ater studies revealed that the CA effect is not just due to pH change and there are a variety of physiological responses to applied CA. Use of CA alone or in combinations with SA and malic acid increased the essential oil production of sweet basil and dill. Results on the application of CA, on some physiological parameters in Tuberose, Lilium, and Bean were promising. Foliar pre-harvest application of the combinations of SA and CA in the soilless culture increased the vase life of cut rose flowers A recent study on sweet basil revealed that the combination of 1 mM SA with 7 mM CA was superior to others in many physiological traits and yield
The ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) represents the maximum quantum yield of the photosynthetic system II (PSII;

Changes in the essential oil content and selected traits of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) as induced by foliar sprays of citric acid and salicylic acid
The experiment aimed to understand how these organic acids are going to affect on essential oil production in sweet basil. Three concentrations of eac…
