In Mexico, 61 000 hectares of ‛Persian’ lime (Citrus Latifoia Tan.) Are cultivated, with an average yield of 14 t ha-1 (SIAP, 2013), it is produced from May to October and prices are low in the markets. For this reason, the study consisted of evaluating cultural practices and application of biostimulants to induce flowering, production and quality of the fruits in winter. During august 2013 and april 2014 in a ‛Persian’ lime orchard in Tlaltizapan, Morelos, Mexico, pruning, banding and the application of urea and Biofol®, carried out in august, September and October, were evaluated in combination. They determined the effects on the trees, the macro and micronutrient content of the leaves and the determination of the physical and biochemical quality of the fruits. With the pruning + urea + ringed in September the highest flowering was obtained and the yield of 20.3 t ha-1, which exceeded between 50 and 400% to the rest of the treatments, showed the highest specific weight, protein content, N, P, Mg and Zn in the leaves; also, the fruits showed greater physical and biochemical quality. Therefore, this treatment favors sprouting, flowering, fruit setting and the yield and quality of the ‛Persian’ lime in Winter.
