Results: The Persian lemon producers in the municipality Martínez de la Torre are mostly male with an average age of 54 years, the type of property is ejidal and they have been producing lemon for 15 to 30 years, the knowledge used for production are periods of rain and soil fertility. In addition, for the most part they use non-tolerant patterns. With respect to the econometric result, variables of greater significance were obtained, which relate to the dependent variable.
