An investigation was conducted between August and December 2015 in order to understand the behavior of the lemon crop (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) at two locations in the Province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. Two eight years old commercial plantations were selected in Manglaralto and Colonche. In each location, 50 plants were labeled in order to be evaluated. The trial did not have an experimental design but statistical analysis was done like a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), considering each location as a treatment and each plant as a replicated. It was found that the highest insect and disease incidence to plays in Manglaralto. The greatest fruit diameter was found in Colonche, with a statistically significant difference with respect to Manglaralto. The highest fruit weight and yield performance was found in Colonche; but the differences were not statistically significant with respect to Manglaralto.
