Abstract

Citrus genus is known for its beneficial effects on health for centuries. The genus Citrus includes more than 162 species belonging to the family Rutaceae and sub-family Aurantoidae. In India, citrus is being cultivated in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Assam, Punjab, Karnataka, Telangana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. India is rich in genetic diversity of citrus. the soil and climatic factor prevailing in the country favour its cultivation. It is cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the country. The major citrus species commercially cultivatedinIndia are mandarins, acid limes and lemons, and sweet oranges. Pummelo and grapefruit are cultivated in limited scale and mainly confined to homestead gardens.
