Abstract
India offers a diverse range of climatic and physical conditions, making it ideal for cultivating a variety fruits crops an important component of agricultural productivity also plays an critical role in the prosperity of any nation. Regardless of the crop type, fruit crops yield more per unit of land than any other agronomic crop. The demand of fruits are increasing rapidly both in fresh and processed form their regular consumption lowers the risk of chronic, non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. It has been determined that citrus fruits, which are grown all over the world steadily, increased its consumption and their products during the past several decades. Acid lime cv. Balaji is a canker-resistant clone with exceptional yields which fetches high demand and consumer acceptability was developed for the commercial cultivation. Fruits include a variety of nutrients, including pectin, cellulose, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals that are essential for human health and the development of disease resistance.
