Summary
Citrus species are the world’s leading fruit citrus producing countries with 42% share species with respect to consumption. Egypt, Spain and Pakistan genera, 1300 species and ranked third are other top producing countries, while popular fruiting crop after apple and Pakistan falls at 10th position around the banana. It is a perennial plant and grown globe [3]. In Pakistan, citrus canker and citrus scab grapefruit, mandarin and lemon etc., are are major diseases of citrus which badly widely grown due to their economic affect citrus production.
