Abstract This study investigates the prevalence of major diseases affecting Kinnow (Citrus nobilis x Citrus deliciosa) orchards in the Sri Ganganagar area of India. Field surveys were conducted across six sampling sites, examining 50 Kinnow plants at each location for four primary diseases: Gummosis, Huanglongbing
(HLB), Citrus Canker, and Black Fly infestation. The research employed a stratified random sampling method and utilized standard disease assessment protocols. Results revealed varying disease prevalence across the sampling sites. Citrus Canker emerged as the most prevalent disease, with incidence ranging from 10% to 22%. Gummosis showed a prevalence of 2% to 10%, while Huanglongbing and Black Fly infestations were observed at lower levels (2-6% and 2-4% respectively). The study found that disease prevalence varied significantly among different locations, likely due to differences in environmental
conditions and orchard management practices. The paper discusses the potential economic impact of these diseases on Kinnow cultivation and provides recommendations for integrated pest management strategies. These include implementing windbreaks, improving soil drainage, aggressive vector control for HLB, and maintaining strict orchard hygiene. The findings underscore the importance of tailored disease management approaches and the need for ongoing monitoring and research to ensure the sustainable production of Kinnow in the region.
