Valencia Orange Seedlings

Farmers Trend Virtual Agrovet supplies high-quality grafted Valencia orange seedlings that are certified, disease-free, and bred for commercial fruit production. These seedlings are grafted from true-to-type mother plants to ensure uniform growth, early maturity, and consistent fruit quality.

Why Choose Grafted Valencia Orange Seedlings?

• Early Maturity: Fruiting begins in 3–4 years compared to 6–7 years for seedling-grown trees.

• High Yields: A mature tree produces 150–200 kg of fruit annually. An acre with 250 trees can yield 37,500–50,000 kg.

• Market Preference: Valencia oranges are among the most demanded citrus fruits for fresh consumption and juice processing in Kenya.

• Disease Resistance: The grafting rootstock provides resilience against common citrus diseases and pests.

• Long Harvest Window: Fruits stay longer on the tree without losing quality, giving farmers flexibility in marketing.

Planting and Management Guide

• Spacing: 5m x 5m (160 trees per acre) or 4m x 4m (250 trees per acre).

• Soil Requirements: Well-drained sandy loam with pH 5.5–6.5. Avoid waterlogged areas.

• Planting: Dig holes 2ft x 2ft x 2ft, mix topsoil with 20kg well-rotted manure, and plant at onset of rains or irrigate after transplanting.

• Fertilization: Apply organic manure annually and supplement with NPK and CAN based on soil test results.

• Irrigation: Essential during dry seasons and critical at flowering and fruiting stages.

• Pruning and Weeding: Prune for better light and air circulation, mulch to conserve soil moisture, and keep the orchard weed-free.

Profitability
Valencia orange farming with grafted seedlings is highly profitable. With a farm gate price of Ksh 80 per kg, one acre can generate gross income of Ksh 3–4 million per year once trees mature. Net profits range from Ksh 2.7–3.7 million per acre depending on management.

Seedling Care Before Transplanting

• Keep seedlings under partial shade until planting.

• Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.

• Transplant at the onset of rains or with proper irrigation.
