ABSTRACT
District Naushahro Feroze of Sindh also known as “Sahatia Pargana” is the main hub and robust zone of Lemon cultivars with rich productivity. The research study was carried out to study the economic feasibility and production potential of Lemons from five respective talukas of District Naushahro Feroze-Sindh, 2021. The maximum per hectare net return and benefit-cost ratio from taluka Kandiaro in PKR, was calculated at net profit Rs; (228998/ha), (1.70), in pesticide applied module and (197065/ha), (2.74), non-pesticide module with net income followed by Mehrabpur, (213366/ha), (1.54), (186080/ha), (2.54), Bhiria, (194077/ha), (1.32), (176972/ha), (2.40), Naushahro Feroze, (164287/ha), (1.17), (135057/ha), (1.60), and Moro (134452/ha), (0.99), (99789/ha), (1.21), respectively. In this region, citriuculture is the trademark industry and Citrus limon fruits are regarded as table fruit, rich content of vitamin “C” appreciated due to delicious taste with high economic and medicinal value. The present research work indicates the per hectare lemon benefit cost ratio, gross returns and net returns were benefited to Lemon cultivation in this area and proved that the Lemon growers earning profit in changing situation. Previously there is no such type of comprehensive assessment study on Lemons and its cost benefit has been taken in this area. Considering the aforementioned facts, this piece of work has been taken with the objective to evaluate the per hectare economic assessment of the lemons. So, it is dire needed to conduct the research study on lemons to benefit the livelihood and pave the way for new researchers. Therefore, Integrated Pest Management strategies should be strongly recommended to secure and enhance the citriculture industry.
