ASSESSMENT OF THE FACTORS THAT LED TO THE DETERIORATION AND DECLINE OF CITRUS TREES IN AL-ZAHRA AREA

The signs and causes of citrus tree degeneration and decline in the Al-Zahra region were investigated in this study. The hypothesis of citrus tree degradation and decline, as well as the reasons that led to the deterioration and decrease, was developed via the research issue by using a model and sending a questionnaire to 60 farmers. During the evaluation of the unique questionnaire, the piece related to water quality, type of irrigation, soil, and their functions was in a row. The majority of sample members claimed that the water quality is unreliable, and they used sprinkler irrigation 90% of the time.

In terms of agricultural activities, the questionnaire covered numerous parameters as indicators of degradation and decline, and it was found that Organic fertiliser was not employed; the proportion was 86.3 percent, followed by chemical fertilisation (70%), tillage (70%), and light pruning (70%). In terms of urban development results, given that there is only one common component, and summarising the situation, it entails the construction of roads and facilities! Industrial, proximity and distance from the public road, factories, location, and occupational status all have an impact on export and displacement. When the arithmetic mean of all the characteristics was determined, it was clear that 72 percent of them had an impact on citrus tree decline, whereas 28 percent did not.
