The research has been conducted using on-site form for the season (2020-2021) distributed to a random sample of farmers with a number of 380. The research depended on the descriptive and analytical method and was completed by cluster analysis which enabled of dividing the sample to four specific groups and internally homogeneous based on the studied factors (<em>Aleyrodidae<\/em> &#8211;<em> phyllocnistis citrella<\/em> &#8211; Citrus Mal secco &#8211; citrus scab &#8211; Mites &#8211; <em>Aonidiella aurantii<\/em> &#8211; salinity &#8211; lime &#8211; slope &#8211; moisture &#8211; frost &#8211; altitude and distance from sea level). Where altitude and distance from sea level were adopted as basic criteria to determine geographical locations. In the next step,<\/span> v<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: 17px;\">ariance analysis conducted to compare the average productivity of each item in these four groups in order to choose the best group. The results reveal that the first group was the best for&nbsp; varieties Navel orange\u060c Java orange and Blood orange while the second group was the best for varieties Navel orange\u060c Blood orange \u060c valencia\u060c Clementine \u060cSatsuma and the pummelo and the third group was the best<\/span> f<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times; font-size: 17px;\">or varieties Valencia \u060c Clementine\u060c Mandarin\u060c Meyerlemon and Grapefruit as for the last group was the best for .
