Descripción
In Nepal citrus in general and mandarin in particular has been traditionally grown as one of the most important fruit crops. However, absence of proper cultivation practices and negligence have resulted in severe decline in its production and productivity in recent times. Without science based knowledge and skills transfer the declined problem can not be controlled. It is expected that this manual will help to upgrade the knowledge and skills of extension staff and thus technical capacity enhan ced among them. This will facilitate extension staff in transfer of technology among farmers to fight against citrus decline problem in Nepal. Furthermore, this manual has been designed to introduce extension workers and mandarin growers to the concept of aligning management practices to the key phenological or growth stages of citrus trees. Phenology is defined as the relationship between climatic and periodic biological events.
