suckers are strong sinks of water and nutrients, thus they have intensive competition with plant vegetative parts like scion of budded seedlings. this is an enormous problem of citrus nurseries in north of iran. as far as vast input and time is spending on control of these unwanted suckers. this research, that carried out in design, compares 10 different sucker control methods in three citrus r...

in this study, effect of irrigation duration on concentration of some macro and micro nutrient elements in ‘thompson navel’ orange leaves grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated as a factorial experiment in completely randomized block design. factors included rootstocks in three levels (poncirus trifoliata, citrus aurantium and troyer citrange (citrus sinensis ´ poncitus trifoliata)) and irri...

In a host-range study carried out under greenhouse conditions, a total of 37 commercial fruit tree, grape, and citrus rootstocks were tested for their reaction to a population of the lesion nematode, Pratylenchus vulnus, in Spain. Twenty-five rootstocks had a Pf/Pi > 1.5. These included almond (Desmayo Rojo, 1143), apple (EM-9, EM-106), avocado (Hass), cherry (Santa Lucia 64, Camil, M x M 14, M...

Four biotypes (pathotypes) of the citrus nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans, occurring in California, U.S.A. were differentiated on the basis of differences of infectivity on 'Homosassa' sweet orange, 'Troyer' citrange, 'Pomeroy' and 'Rubidoux' Poncirus trifoliata, 'Thompson Seedless' grape, and 'Manzanillo' olive. A method for differentiating biotypes of T. semipenetrans is described. Field o...

the effects of rootstocks such as 'sour orange' (citrus aurantium l. var. ‘yerli’), 'carrizo' and 'troyer citranges' (citrus sinensis osb. x poncirus trifoliata raf), 'smooth flat seville sour orange' (citrus spp. hybrid of uncertain origin), 'brazilian sour orange' (citrus aurantiam l. var. ‘brasilian’), 'volkameriana' (citrus volkameriana tan. and pasq.) and 'calamondin' (possibly citrus reti...

Hypoxia is a potential threat to various horticultural cropsin lands prone to flooding. Citrus is mostly known as a sub-tropical crop that is often exposed to environmental stresses. In order to evaluate response of six different citrus genotypes, including sour orange, rough lemon, Trifoliate orange, Troyer citrange and two local genotypes labeled; CRC1 and CRC2 to flooding conditions, an expe...

The response of Citrus spp. and related rootstocks to a population of Meloidogyne javanica was evaluated in a screenhouse experiment. Palestine and Rangpur lime, rough lemon, sour orange, Sexton and Thentriton tangelo, and Volkamer lemon were not infected by M. javanica. Galls and tip swellings were observed on the roots of Poncirus triloliata and Troyer citrange. There was no evidence of nemat...

Studies have shown the importance of oxygenated compounds in beverage and food products. Citrus rootstocks seem to have a profound influence on oxygenated compounds in plants. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of rootstocks on the oxygenated compounds in Citrus clementina.  Flower oil components were extracted using an ultrasonic bath and eluted with n-pentane: diethyl...

changes in chlorophyll florescence is one of the physiological responses of plants to waterlogging stress. due to easily measured in field and its inexpensive and non-destructive characteristics, it is one of the best ways to assess different genotypes tolerance to stresses. in this experiment, trends of chlorophyll fluorescence index (fv/fm) of ‘satsuma’ mandarin (citrus unshiu) on seven roots...

in this research, catalase activity and leaf chlorophyll stability of satsuma mandarin on some citrus rootstocks under waterlogging condition were studied. experiment was conducted as factorial with randomized complete blocks and 6 replications. the first factor, include 7 soils from east mazandaran and the second factor included 7 different citrus rootstocks: 1. sour orange, 2. swingle citrome...
