ABSTRACT

Although there is an appreciable progress in the production of citrus fruits in Nepal, there is a little change in management practices. Citrus orchards still continue to face the threat of declines. The citrus productivity is very low in Nepal, which is mainly due to absence of cultural practices. Severe decline symptoms were observed in the orchards of Dhunkuta Agriculture Station in 1987. Rejuvenation of these orchards was made possible by following ten orchard management practices. Based on this study and the current situations of citrus orchards in the country, some measures are suggested for the rejuvenation of declined citrus orchards.
