Citrus cultivation

Hi narender,

Now a days each and every cultivation is risky one.But we have to over come and solve the problems by self experience and better guidance.Citu=rus cultivation is good and evergreen marketing for multipurpose useage.So gohead for citrus cultivation in your land.The major setback in citrus is virys attack.I.e without any syptom the tree will die.But we can manage by using the organic manure like well ripped farmyard manure if not availiable you apply vermicompost.Oftenly you can apply neem cake solution for foliage application aswell as soil applications.In between mean time micronutirnt will be provided.Kindly observe the root rot of the plant if you suspect immediately neem cake solution will be applied.The major cause for root rot is application of unripped cowdung / farmyard manure.So you kindly avoid such things .

4 lakh fruits ..?

To hear 20 lakh revenue from one acre its amazing even in theory also.

"4 lakh fruits per acre/yr * Rs 5.0 = 20 Lakh/acr/yr ?,"

I saw a max of 50-100 fruits per tree(on average of 100 trees) during 5th and 6th year crop.
There is possibility of increasing crop with a good management up to 1000 fruits then possible yield can be 1000* 100 trees = 1L fruits which can be 10MT(on basis of 5 fruits per kg) per acre. now a days I see the market price between 15k to 20k (expect 25% brokerage + transport to local traders if you go to hyderabad market, and if you are new they may loot more, This is worst market I ever seen)

so even if you sell @ 20k per ton you get 2L for 10MT(these are the Max estimates)
and on average citrus former does not get more than 30k per acre with my experience after his expenditures.(that too if he does well) This is based on 200 fruits * 100 trees=4 MT @10k = 40,000/-

If any body is able drawing 10MT / Acre I would like to hear more from them. The price 20k is also seen only in the last year. Till last year the average price moving between 8-10k.
(Above calcs based on hyderabad fruit market price. Don,t go the price what they announce. once you enter in the market the price variation is so much changes within a day based on incoming produce. Everybody is syndicated there, once you unload the fruits its very difficult to take it back and sell some where else.)

If you don't select the phytophthora resistant seedlings then you expect loosing of at least 5-10% per annum from 5th year onwards.

I can help you to have proper plantations. It is risky if you do it wrongly.

I have a lot if experience in Citrus fruits cultivation and processing IN MANY COUNTRIES FOR MANY YEARS!. If you are at the right place, right climate and weather, appropriate varieties for processing as well as table use, and have patience and money to sustain until the crop is in full production, you can make good money. Some of the richest people in the Caribbeans and South America are Orange- Growers! BUT THE VARIETIES THEY DO IN INDIA HAVE TO BE CHANGED. Please contact me if you like. Read my Bio-Date too.
