The aimed to elucidate the current status of soil fertility in the main citrus-producing regions ofChina，explore the soil limiting factorsthat restrict citrusgrowth，and provide valuable insights for citrus nutrient management. To achievethis，the published literature on soil nutrients in citrus orchards were collected toperformed integratedanalysis，examined soil nutrient content and abundancestatus，and conducted a comprehensive soil fertility evaluation. The results showed significant insights into the soil conditions of citrus orchards across China. The averagesoil pH，organicmatter，availablenitrogen，availablephosphorus，availablepotassium，exchangeablecalcium，exchangeablemagnesium，availableiron，availablemanganese，availablecopper，availablezinc，available boron and available molybdenum were recorded as5.53，17.6g/kg，92.3mg/kg，60.1mg/kg，162mg/kg，1294mg/kg，161mg/kg，58.3mg/kg，39.5mg/kg，2.97mg/kg，3.54 mg/kg，0.46 mg/kg and 0.29mg/kg，respectively. Soil pH in 56.0% of the orchards was below 5.5.Moreover，deficiencies in exchangeablecalcium，exchangeable magnesium and available boron wereobserved in51.2%，38.5% and 63.6% oforchards，respectively. Incontrast，more than 50% of the orchards showedsatisfactory(medium orhigh)levels of soilorganicmatter，availablephosphorus，availablepotassium，and trace elements except for availableboron. The average soil integrated fertility index(IFI)of citrus orchards in China was 0.52. The IFI in western Hubei-Xiangxi was0.56，which was significantly higher than those in Zhejiang-Fujian-Guangdong(0.51)and Gannan -Xiangnan-Guibei(0.47). The IFI of the Gannan-Xiangnan-Guibei area was substantially lower than that in the upper and middle reaches of the YangtzeRiver(0.53). The IFI below medium class in different main producing areas was 7.14%-32.3%. The soilavailablephosphorus，availablepotassium，and microelementconcentrations(except availableboron)in citrus orchards of China were at the middle orhigh level. The results showed low soilpH，insufficient availablenitrogen，and deficiencies in exchangeable calcium and available boron were the potential limiting factorsin citrus orchards. To address thesechallenges， focusing onsoil management strategies should be pivotal. Forexample，alkaline fertilizers or lime application could mitigate soilacidity，while increasing organic fertilizer application andoptimizingnitrogen，calcium，and boron fertilizer could address nutrient deficiencies.Hence，citrus cultivation in different regions should be adapted to local conditions and complemented with agricultural management measures.This approach may improve soil fertility in citrusorchards，promotecitrus quality andefficiency，and achieve sustainable development of the citrus industry.
