It's a mineral deficiency, most likely of Nitrogen. Feed it with a
nitrogenous manure like dynamic lifter (chook poo) or if you want to go the
chemical route (Lanes, Yates etc) citrus food. Particularly with the
latter, which is very concentrated, don't overdo it or all the leaves will
fall off! If you are in a cool area wait until the last likely frost before
you feed or you could encourage new soft growth that will be burned off by
the next frost.

Had a similar problem some 30 years ago
Situation : WA, sandy white "soil"

A friend qualified in this area (ag science) advised me to apply a spray
of Molybdenum (sulphate??) to the leaves. He supplied me with (from
memory ... molybdenum sulphate ???? ... 30 years ago .. sorry)
This had the desired effect.

Understand that there is a need to balance molybdenum and lime
Either robs the other (prevents the other from being effective)

In subsequent years, I have just dissolved mineral supplements and
sprayed on leaves. Kept the yellow leaves at bay.

Yep, it could be a trace element deficiency. There are quite a few things
that cause leaf yellowing, I suggest starting with common ones (citrus are
heavy feeders of nitrogen) and going on to rarer ones if it don't improve.

Lime and chook manure has been my best friend when it comes to oranges
and lemons.
Most soils tend to go acid and this helps fix it.

Go outside, stand right near the root system, and tip the liquid contents
of the gazunda on the roots
best feed system for any lemon tree
..

Another way to look after it
See the movie "The Fastest Indian"

Theres a good hint in there for looking after your lemon tree!

If you live in a climate where the weather is cold, then there is probably
nothing at all wrong with it except the cold and it will come good as the
weather warms up. You could try spraying the leaves with some seasol but
the only thing that will really help if it is cold is the return of armer
weather. If you live in a warm climate then it probably needs feeding with
high nitrogen food - water regularly, wait 6 weeks and it should be as good
as new then.

No-one has yet claimed that they do have one.

However some of us do appear to have some general knowledge.

Maybe so, but it is still good for the lemon tree

Yeah well in the dark ages there wasnt much light and things didnt grow
real well. That explains the lemon trees poor condition!

And I was told many, many years ago by a professional gardener with 40 years
of gardening employment under his belt, that lemons thrived on dog poop.
Haven't tried it myself but I guess stranger things could be true.

Look anything is better tha nothing in regards to manure.
Deepends on the nitrogenous content.
Did you know that urine at one time was collected to extract chemicals
so they could make gunpowder?
Whoops, better not let the terrorists know about this.

Yes, I did know that. For the ammonia perhaps?

They already know about it. It's in all sorts of agricultural fertilisers
and was used by the Oklahoma bombers when they blew up a US Federal
Government building some years ago.

Actually ammonium nitrate.
I used to make this stuff up in Tassie at Savage River.
You could set the clock by the boom.
Every time I hear an explosion I still think its lunchtime.
