Satendra Babu

Abstract:
Kinnow, a mandarin hybrid, is gaining popularity among the citrus growers of North West India. It is an important fruit crop due to the large amount of vitamin \\\\\\\"C\\\\\\\" that it contains. Kinnow (Santra) is also known as Citrus reticulata, which is a member of the Rutaceae family. In this study, we collected data regarding the marketing of kinnow, the average returns, the operational and maintenance expenses, and the setup costs. The data was analyzed in order to investigate the effectiveness of marketing, the pricing spread, margins, and budgetary constraints. The results showed that the most expensive labor per acre was spent on family labor (in the year 1212), followed by hired labor (In the year 732) across all categories of orchard size groups. The overall per-acre yields of medium orgrids were the highest (7385), while the yield of small orgrims was the lowest (6774), and the yield was the highest (6562). There was a favorable link between the age of the plants and yields (P0.05).\\\\r\\\\n
