After describing the technology adopted and its influence on production and yield, the importance of varietal change, which is essential to meet demand, is underscored. The choice of a variety by growers depends on the expected price it will fetch along with the commercial and crop characteristics and the quality. Survival of a variety in the marketplace depends on the performance as expected and on the existence of other more competitive varieties. First, in Spanish citrus farming, the navel group predominate, with 41.10% of orange production, in which the main varieties are “Navelina” and “Lanelate.” The group of late white oranges is also important. The mandarin orange group includes clementines and mandarin hybrids; lemons also feature prominently. In sweet oranges, the navel group and late white group has often been renewed with varieties from the same group. In very early clementines varieties, the survival of which is usually short, the supply of new varieties is excessive. Because of its commercial characteristics and harvesting time, the group with the highest expansion possibilities are the mandarin hybrids which are in demand by hypermarkets. In the introduction of varieties, in recent years we have seen varietal clubs being established, with area control of each variety and very strict rules on cultivation and marketing.

This study aims to determine the income, income risk and the factors that affecting the income risk of citrus farming in Sambas district. The data used in this study is the cross sectional from 106 farmers in Sambas district. Analysis of the data using the formula of farm income, coefficient of variation and residual squared of income function model. The result showed that the value of average income of citrus farming per hectare per year is Rp 18,492,410 million. Variability of the average value at income risk of citrus farmers is 0.809 or 80.9%. The variable that decreases the income risk is managerial capabilities while the variables which increases the income risk of citrus farming are size farm and the price of NPK fertilizer.   Keywords: Risk, Income, Citrus Farming

ABSTRACT The objective of the analyses in the paper is to determine a combination of factors that enhances production and export capacity among selected countries practising small-scale citrus farming. Data was sourced through internet search using the search engine of EBSCO discovery and Scopus. Data was analysed using the multiclass discriminant analysis and frequency tables. The results shows that among the 10 sampled countries, the following population size, the rate of citrus consumption in local markets, availability of arable land, processing capacity, proximity to European markets and the counter-seasonal effect with Europe are important fa ctors. For South Africa, important factors are big farm sizes and high crop yield. The income derived from small farms such as those of China and India, is not enough to lift farmers out of poverty. It is recommended for governments to determine a viable size of a citrus farm, which will improve farmer’s living conditions.

Citrus Farming

SUMMARYDespite tremendous efforts made in agricultural sectors in sub-Saharan Africa in the last two decades, fruits production and consumption to reduce malnutrition and chronic diseases remain low and have received less attention. Moreover, our knowledge of the current production situation and options for improvement are still limited. In this study, we investigated citrus farming systems and production bottlenecks to identify leverage points for intensification of smallholder citrus farming systems in Benin. We provided a typology of citrus orchards based on 17 quantitative and qualitative variables using Factor Analysis of Mixed Data combined with Hierarchical Cluster Analysis. The typology revealed four categories of citrus farms based on biophysical resources, socioeconomic resources and system management practices. Categories 1 and 2 included farms characterised by less diversified cropping systems with non-recommended management practices. Orchard categories 3 and 4 included farms with high varietal diversity and improved management practices. However, farmers of category 4 neglected staking and digging practices. The inadequate farming practices explained some of the production bottlenecks, which were orchard-type dependent. We discussed the implications of our findings and suggested a number of policy and strategic decisions as well as research and development actions for improving citrus production in Benin.

Significant Mortality

Abstract The Orange Spiny Whitefly (OSW) Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) represents a new serious threat to Citrus spp., grapevine and ornamental plants in the whole Mediterranean area. Such threat urgently calls for the development of a sustainable control strategy, including insecticides compatible with biological control, and applicable also in organic citrus farming that represent an essential part of Mediterranean agricultural economy. Therefore, we evaluated the toxicity and the effects on host searching, oviposition, and probing and feeding behavior exerted on OSW by organic insecticides supposed to have limited side effects on environment and ecosystem services, i.e. sweet orange essential oil (EO), extract of Clitoria ternatea (CT), mineral oil, pyrethrin and azadirachtin. Despite none of the compounds caused a significant mortality of any of the OSW instars, we observed interesting effects on whitefly behavior: (i) EO and pyrethrin showed a relevant repellent effect, with impairment of both adults landing and oviposition on treated plants; (ii) CT and pyrethrin strongly affected probing behavior. Here, in the light of our findings, we discuss possible OSW sustainable control strategies and further research perspectives.
