Abstract:
Citrus decline is one of the reasons that citrus productivity in the NEH region is not increasing at the same speed as that of the region. Citrus decline is a symptom of numerous plant illnesses rather than a single disease. The symptoms of this condition vary depending on the causes and components involved and are triggered by both biotic and abiotic factors. A total of 10 nos. farmer’s orchard were selected with 40 nos. of tree for each farmer and followed the rejuvenation calendar operation in Mizoram's Aizawl district during 2017 and 2019. The study revealed that the rejuvenation calendar-adopted orchard was found to be beneficial for producing more fruit—260 nos., 108 g per fruit, 4.97 cm in length, 4.96 cm in diameter, and 91.33 ml per fruit—than non-rejuvenated trees, which was produced 126 nos., 83.67 g per fruit, 4.52 cm in length, 4.56 cm in diameter, and 67.03 ml per fruit, respectively. The rejuvenated orchard produced a net return of Rs. 42500.00 and a cost-benefit ratio of (2.8), compared to a net return of Rs. 18700.00 and a cost-benefit ratio of (2.4), which demonstrated the viability of the rejuvenation technology demonstration.
