Abstract: In most citrus species, heavy fruit drop and occasional low fruit set are serious problems. The continued fruit drop at various stages of fruit development results in considerable reduction in yield and leads to low profit to citrus growers. So, the use of various growth regulators and chemicals to control fruit drop in citrus fruits which improve the productivity as well as quality of the produce is suggested. Therefore, this problem attracted the attention of large number of researchers to find some positive control measures on vegetative growth behaviour, reproductive biology, yield parameters and quality attributes through the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and other chemicals along with pruning. In this review we have tried to compile the previous research and findings in a precise way.
