The cultivation of citrus fruit is widespread and of great economic significance throughout the world's tropical and subtropical zones. However, inadequate management, efficient production technologies, and ineffective fungal spray schedule severe problems with the quality of Chinese lemon (Meyer lemon) grown in Pakistan. To increase the production of Meyer lemons while managing sustainable agricultural approaches, this study proposes using an optimal fungicide concentration and a mix of organic and conventional fungicides. To reduce the possibility of statistical error, the study employed a randomized complete block design over a vast region of 1.5 acres, with five treatments repeated three times. The primary goal of these treatments was to boost output while reducing their overall environmental footprint by using either organic or conventional fertilizers. Based on the study's findings, organic fungicides successfully maintain fruit quality and physical appearance compared to conventional (synthetic) fungicide treatments. However, organic fungicides produce slightly less yield than conventional fungicides; conventional fungicides control fruit dropping at the end of the fruit-picking season. However, combined treatment of conventional and organic fungicides and organic practices solved this problem. The T5 treatment was developed and successfully observed in the lemon field. This treatment (combines 250 EC Tilt and 200 ml Isabian) provided a sustainable method to enhance double agricultural productivity by 2030 while reducing environmental impact, and this study has important implications for farmers and landowners.
