Physico-chemical characterization of orange fruits on different rootstocks

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics fruits 58 sweet orange tops cultivars on four rootstocks, namely: ‘Sunki Tropical’ mandarin and ‘Trifoliata’ Citrandarin ‘San Diego’, ‘Riverside’ ‘Indio’. For purpose, a completely randomized experimental design used, in factorial scheme (58 x 4). analyzed were: equatorial diameter, fruit mass, peel thickness, number seeds, soluble solids, titratable acidity, Ratio juice yield. All were influenced by both cultivar rootstock, demonstrating that factors interfere physicochemical quality fruits. ‘Pera D-3’, Olimpia’, Bianchi’, ‘Jaffa’ ‘Westin’ all rootstocks evaluated showed their with solids greater than 10 ºBrix, above 9.5 yield 45%, define standards. Also, ‘Sincorá’ rootstock Tropical’, D-25’, ‘Sincorá’, ‘Aquiri’ ‘Russas P.S.’ C-32’, D-6’, E-6’, CE-03 ‘, ‘Salustiana’ are suitable for production industry between 14 16 50%. It is also worth noting ‘Crescent’, ‘Natal Folha Murcha’, ‘Valencia Midknight’ Delta’ produced without seeds rootstocks.
