The experiment was conducted in commercial Nagpur mandarin orchards during year 2015-16 covering 70 orchards in 12 location/villages of Sausar tehsil. In each orchard of Nagpur Mandarin 20 trees were randomly selected for visual observations. In recent years number of problems was observed in citrus growing area of Madhya Pradesh specially the decline of plants after the age of 7-8 year, citrus canker, sooty mould etc. In order to study the problem and try to find out their solution a Technology Mission on Citrus for Chhindwara distt. of Madhya Pradesh has been started since May 2011 at Zonal Agriculture Research Station, JNKVV, Chhindwara. Successful control of Gummosis and other disease of citrus are possible which has been demonstrated with positive result in Nagpur Mandarin Diseases.

Abstract


The experiment was conducted in commercial Nagpur mandarin orchards during year 2015-16 covering 70 orchards in 12 location/villages of Sausar tehsil. In each orchard of Nagpur Mandarin 20 trees were randomly selected for visual observations. In recent years number of problems was observed in citrus growing area of Madhya Pradesh specially the decline of plants after the age of 7-8 year, citrus canker, sooty mould etc. In order to study the problem and try to find out their solution a Technology Mission on Citrus for Chhindwara distt. of Madhya Pradesh has been started since May 2011 at Zonal Agriculture Research Station, JNKVV, Chhindwara. Successful control of Gummosis and other disease of citrus are possible which has been demonstrated with positive result in Nagpur Mandarin Diseases.
