Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the agronomic and biological characteristics of the Muong Pon orange (Citrus sinensis) in Dien Bien, a specialty orange variety in Vietnam. By applying the research methodology of International Union for Conservation of Nature, the research identified morphological traits, growth patterns, flowering, fruit setting, fruit quality, and pest and disease conditions affecting this orange variety. The results show that the Muong Pon orange has an average tree height of 8.13 m, a basal diameter of 17.16 cm, and a canopy diameter of 7.06 m. The leaves have an average length of 13.39 cm and width of 5.18 cm. The flowers have 5 petals and an average of 22.10 stamens. The fruit is spherical, yellow-orange in color, with an average weight of 245.42 g, and the actual yield is approximately 54.15 kg/tree. The study also indicates that the Muong Pon orange is affected by pests and diseases such as the Asian citrus psyllid, leaf miner, and Greening disease. These findings provide a scientific basis for the conservation and development of this valuable orange variety.
