In the complex of agrotechnical measures during the propagation of citrus plants, an important and one of the leading places is the determination of the optimal terms for transplanting plants. Taking into account certain relief and agroclimatic conditions, the exact optimal dates for transplanting citrus plants have not yet been determined, that's why we aimed to determine the date of transplanting some citrus crops in relatively harsh ecological conditions. The research was conducted in the Imereti region, namely at the Scientific Research Center of Agrarian Directions of Akaki Tsereteli State University, where the collection plots of citrus plants are located. The purpose of the experiment was to make regular observations and records on their growth and development, the height of the plants, the diameter of the stem and the indicators of flowering were studied. Based on our observations, we determined the dates for planting citrus plants and the parameters of their growth, as a result of which we can consider October-March as reference dates for mandarin plants, and September-October-April for lemon plants. Here we can mention that relatively good results are obtained from these two crops with low damage rates from flowering and overwintering of mandarin and lemon plants planted in early autumn.
