Mandarin orange is propagated mainly by budding. The ideal time of planting is July-August. The budded plants are ready for planting in 6-12 months.

Dig pits of size 70 cm x 60 cm x 70 cm at a spacing of 7-8 m at least one month in advance of planting. Organic manure @ 10 kg/plant is added and the pit is filled with top soil.

Lift the plants carefully with a ball of earth around the roots and plant them carefully without disturbing the roots.

While planting, remove the bandage around the bud joint and keep the bud joint at least 10-15 cm above soil surface.

Remove the vegetative growth arising below the bud union periodically.
