This research was carried out with the aim of knowing the behavior of Valencia orange crops in "type farms" in the province of Chanchamayo, Junín, Peru. The study was carried out in Chanchamayo, Junin Region, between January and December 2016. There were selected four "types of farming" (FT1, FT2, FT3, FT4), with plants of ten years of age. A "type of farming" was selected at random. In each "type farm", soil samples were taken and 50 plants were selected. Variables evaluate were: The chemical characteristics of the soil, incidence of pests and diseases, fruit quality (weight, diameter, and brix), and yield. For statistical analysis, each "type farm" was considered as a treatment and each plant as a repetition (4 treatments with 50 repetitions) and worked as if it were a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results showed that the behavior of the Valencia orange was better in the FT2, this "type farm" had the lowest incidence of pests and diseases, the best fruit quality, and the highest yield; but it is also the one that receives the highest investment. A low incidence of pests and diseases was observed, which suggests good phytosanitary management of the crop. The weight and diameter of the fruit varied with time. Fruits with the greatest weight and diameter corresponded to FT2 farming.}, journal = {OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
