Lime trees were grown in 50 liters of clay pots filled with fine sand and were treated with three levels of nitrogen concentration i.e. 600, 800 and 1,000 meq/l. They were given about 1-2 liters of the nutrient solution everyday. The experiment was conducted at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Chiang Mai University during December 1999 to September 2000. Nitrogen at the concentration of 1000 meq/l resulted in higher Titratable Acidity (TA) and Total Soluble Solids (TSS) of fruits than other treatment. The fruit size, fruit weight, juice content and pH were not different at any treatments. Titratable Acidity and Total Soluble Solids increased depending on the age of the fruits.
