History of Horticultural Research Station Sahiwal goes back to 1935 when it was established as sub-station under the auspices of Imperil Council of Agriculture, New Dehli, India. This sub-station was primarily mandated with the execution of research on stock/scion compatibilities of citrus varieties. In the background of research on stock/scion relationships area under citrus registered a reasonable increase and a need to develop a viable orchard management technology emerged. Hence the status of the sub-station was elevated to a full-fledged research station during 1971-72 with a sub-station at Sargodha. Now this Station has gone under the administrative and technical control of the Director, Citrus Research Institute, Sargodha.
