The study used 243 leaf samples from 81 plots, with samplings performed in plants bearing fruits with three and six months of age, and also in the main harvest (nine months). Plots with productivity higher than 30 Mg ha-1 were selected for the establishment of reference standards. Three normal ranges were evaluated for each nutrient in the reference population, comprehended by the confidence interval (CI) of the foliar content averages, by the mean±standard deviation (±SD), and by the mean±?SD. Regardless of the normal range of nutrients used, the leaf sampling periods interfered with the nutritional status of 'Pêra' orange tree. The normal ranges obtained from the criteria CI and ±?SD of the nutrient contents observed in the reference population frequently provided similar nutritional diagnoses. Zn, Ca, and Fe are the elements that most often limit the production of 'Pêra' orange in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. aDiagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System aCitrus Limonia aCitrus Sinensis aAmostragem foliar aÍndice de balanço nutricional aNutritional balance index aPopulação de referência aReference population1 aWADT, P.
