Opis

Although citrus fruit has been grown in India since the time immemorial, their commercial cultivation has been undertaken only in modern times. The acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is cultivated extensively in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Gujrat, Bihar, and some other states, occupying more than 10 per cent of the total area under citrus fruit in India. They are cultivated all over the breadth and length of country. Kagzi lime occupies second place among the citrus fruit under cultivation in India. Maharashtra leads the rest of states both in area and production of limes and Andhra Pradesh comes next. The cultivation of Acid lime is somewhat restricted to central and southern India, because of its susceptibility to cold and well marked seasons, its performance in north is not up to the mark. Some principal countries where it is extensively grown are the United States of America, India, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Australia, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, Algeria and South Africa. In India, citrus occupies commercially a very important place among the fruit crops next only to mango and banana.
