Resumo
The study was focused on number of citrus trees in homestead area, types and source of citrus planting materials, causes of depletion of citrus trees and villagers’ attitudes towards citrus plantation in the homestead area of four selected unions of Barlekha upazila in Moulvibazar district during July to November 2015. Eighty local people from four selected unions were interviewed for this purpose. Study indicates that mainly seedlings are used as planting materials and majority of the people collect these seedling from market. Household area is occupied with 34.09% timber species followed by fruit trees other than citrus 31.09%, agar 18.14%, citrus 12.63%, medicinal 3.0% and aesthetic species 1.05%. People cultivate citrus in their homestead by realizing that economic returns from citrus is possible and citrus can meet their family needs successfully. Less interest in citrus cultivation due to poor market price is predominantly responsible for the continuous declining of citrus tree. It also explored the relationships between the selected characteristics (independent variables) with number of citrus trees in homestead (dependent variable). Correlation analysis indicates that homestead land size, number of trees in homestead and annual income from citrus and showed significant positive relationships with the number of citrus trees.
