Abstract
Citrus is the World's premiere fruit crop infected by a large number of diseases and caused huge economic losses. A study was conducted from November to December 2014 at several citrus orchards of Sylhet, Bangladesh to find out the prevalence and intensity of diseases affecting different citrus species. In this study, 560 plants from seventeen citrus species were critically observed to collect data on the infection of diseases. Different citrus diseases were found among the studied population where greening, die-back, scab and canker of citrus were mostly prevailing diseases in this region. A significant variation in the disease incidence and severity was found among different species. Rough lemon demonstrated the highest susceptibility (95%) to citrus greening. But, die-back in combination with scab of citrus exhibited the maximum greening incidence in BARI satkara-1 (55%), followed by Mandarin (46.66%). The incidence of die-back was the highest in BARI kamala-1 followed by lime (93.3%). The scab of citrus showed the maximum incidence in BARI satkara-1 (50%). Alachilemon was found highly infected by canker of citrus showing 65% and 36% of incidence and severity respectively. Among all the studied citrus species, the overall disease incidence was found to be the lowest in Chinalemon. The study is a valued addition to the literature of citrus research and contributed significantly to the management of citrus disease.
