Kindly advice for the plantations of satgudi mosambi in Gujarat.
Mosambi and Satgudi are two different citrus varieties commonly grown with almost similar fruit characteristics
Mosambi ,has prominent streaks on the thick rind and a circular grove at the styler end or base. Fruit shape is sub-globose and has more numbers of seeds mostly cultivated in Maharastra . It lacks flavour and sometimes it can be almost insipid due to unbalanced sugar acid ratio.
Sathgudi fruit surface is smooth, spherical in shape, rind is thin, semi glossy, finely pitted and has segments , mostly cultivated in Andhra Pradesh . Telangana & Tamilnadu
This variety is a high yielder (16-18t/acre) and popular in South India because of wider adaptability and better consumer acceptance.
Batavian (Bathayi) another lesser known variety of sweet orange mostly grown in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh . Batavian variety closely resembles Sathgudi. It develops yellow patches on green background when it is basked to protect itself from fruit sucking moth
Soil : A well drained loamy soil of uniform texture upto depth of 2-3 m having good fertility is considered ideal for cultivation. The plant is highly sensitive to waterlogged situation. Heavy soils, if well drained, yield good crops but the cultivation becomes difficult. Soil pH of 6.5 to 7.5 ideal.
Climate : Tropical climate with moderate annual rainfall of i.e., 750 mm are ideally suited to Sweet orange and Acid lime. They can be grown successfully even upto an elevation of 900m above mean sea level and the best growth performance occurs around temperature of 32 deg C.
