Abstract:

Effect of citrus rootstock Rough lemon (C. limon Linn.

Budded Valencia late orange on rootstock were grown in medium, well drained and maintained free from weeds. The physical and chemical properties of soil are as suitable. Results showed that rootstock had significant effect on growth and development as well as Fruit quality of Valencia late. Highest Plant height (4.42m), Plant mean spread (4.17m) and Plant volume (40.31m3) on Rough lemon rootstock. Rootstock types had significant effect on highest Number of fruits per plant (232.76), number of kg per plant (32.75) as well as Fruit quality like highest juice percentage (53.15), TSS (12.56 brix), Acidity (1.01%) and Ascorbic acid (57.86 mg/100 ml juice) were budded on rough lemon rootstock.
