KACHAI LEMON FESTIVAL 2009 |
|
|
The coming of lemon cultivation in Kachai Village is
very interesting. The story started about 60 years back. It was first
introduced by the late S. Paisho a pioneered
Christianity at the Village. He first planted only a few seeds in the
village in 1944-45 and only 3 (three) plants started bearing fruit in 1950.
This is the beginning of today's Kachai Lemon. The name Kachai Lemon was
given by the then Advisor of Agriculture, Govt. of Manipur (L) S. Bhowmik.
The ICAR identified the fruit as a kind of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri).
Recently ICAR found that the lemon available in Kachai contains 51% Ascorbic
acid (Vitamin C) where as it is only about 30% in Orange. So, this is the
special quality of this lemon. |
