Citrus fruit drop is a serious problem that begins with flowering and continues until harvesting, resulting in a significant financial loss each year. Fruit drop in citrus is separated into three primary periods: post bloom, which occurs a few weeks after blooming, i.e. March-April, June drop, which occurs in June-July, and pre harvest, which occurs in September-October. Excessive fruit drop in citrus has contributed to low yield and has made many citrus-growing countries unprofitable, despite adequate flowering and initial fruit set. This article gives students, horticulturists, researchers, and other stakeholders’ extensive information about fruit drop in mandarin and directs them in the right path for future research.
