Summary
<p>This chapter discusses the nutritional status and fertilizer requirement of fig through: (i) visual diagnosis; (ii) leaf analysis; (iii) soil analysis; and (iv) a combination of nutrition, vegetative growth, yield, and quality relationships. Nutrient management considering water and soil requirements may positively affect the yield and production capacity of the fig tree. For better fig production, efficient agronomic management needs to be used to eradicate the existing problems caused by internal and external conditions.</p>
