´ Good intake of vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer as it helps to get of free radicals that cause damage to our DNA.
REQUIREMENTS
Soil:- Sandy loam, Loam and Clay loam.
Susceptibility:- Susceptible to Pest diseases.
Temperature:- 7° to 8°C.
Cultivation:- Farming – Post-Harvest Management.
pH:- 6.0 to 7.5.
Rainfall:- A dry climate with about 50-75 cm of rainfall from June-September.
IRRIGATION
´Citrus trees are very sensitive to the presence of salts in soil as well as in the irrigation water.
´As such they are liable to contain salts, though in variable quantities.
´The presence of chlorides and sodium salts is most harmful to citrus.
´Chlorides are said to be more injurious than sulphates , while carbonates are reputed to be the most injurious of all the salts.
´High moisture content and high water table, especially in the presence of high proportion of calcium may cause chlorotic symptoms in plants.
´Where better quality water is not available, the toxic effects of salts can be minimized by following certain management practices.
´The soil should not be allowed to dry, where irrigation water is high in salts to avoid root injury.
´If there is any sign of salt accumulation in the soil an irrigation of atleast 15 cm is recommended.
´When the natural salt content of the soil or the irrigation water is high, water should be applied in excess of the needs of the trees in order to reduce soluble salts in the root zone.
