    Citrus agriculture is the practice of cultivating citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. The citrus industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, with citrus fruits being a staple in many diets and a key export commodity for many countries. Citrus agriculture involves techniques for planting, growing, and harvesting citrus trees, as well as strategies for pest and disease management, irrigation, and soil fertility. Research in citrus agriculture aims to improve crop yields, fruit quality, and sustainability through the development of new varieties, technologies, and cultivation practices. This research area also focuses on addressing challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and invasive pests that threaten the citrus industry.
