The best prices for 'Persian' lime in Mexico and abroad are from January to April, at this time there is little fruit due to environmental factors, however there are various agronomic techniques that increase fruit yield in these periods. The experiment was carried out at the 'Antonio' ranch, municipality of Tlapacoyan, Ver., with the objective of promoting flowering and fruit harvests of 'Persa' lime out of season. 'Persa' lime trees grafted onto 8-year-old 'Agrio' orange trees were used. The treatments were, control without application, ethephon at 500 mg•L-1, urea at 10% and potassium nitrate at 10%. The average of five dates in number of flowers per branch was higher with 10% urea and lower in the control with statistical differences (P≤0.05). The average of four dates in the number of fruits per tree with higher green export quality was with ethephon and only statistically exceeded (P≤0.05) the control. The average of four dates in number of fruits per tree with export quality for the United States was higher with ethephon 500 mg•L-1 and the other treatments did not present statistical differences (P≤0.05).
