The objective of this study was to test whether foliar application of elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn and Mg as their sulfate) would affect the yield, fruit quality and element balance in leaves of 20 – 25 old lemon trees (Citrus aurantifolia). This experiment that was included 8 treatments, was carried out in Minab Agricultural Research Station in 2000-2001. The elements were foliary sprayed as single or combined before and after bloom. The experiment was arranged in a complet block randomized design with four replications. The results showed that treatments had not significant effect on yield, indicating that soil elements was probably sufficient. Treatments, however, significantly affected some of fruit quality parameters. Leaf Mn and Cu concentran were increased significantly by foliar application of Mn and Cusulfates respectively. However, there was not a significant increase in leaf Fe and Zn concentrations by foliar spray of Fe and Zn.
