YIELD AND FRUIT QUALITY OF WASHINGTON NAVEL ORANGE AS AFFECTED BY SOUR ORANGE AND VOLKAMER LEMON ROOTSTOCKS
This study was carried out during 2002 and 2003 seasons on 11 years old Washington navel orange trees budded on Volkamer lemon and Sour orange rootstocks to evaluate yield, and fruit quality. The obtained results showed that, Washington navel orange on Volkamer lemon produced significantly higher yield, fruit length, diameter, volume, weight, rind thickness, peel weight, and juice volume than those recorded on Sour orange rootstock. Trees on Volkamer lemon produced fruits with highest juice acidity and ascorbic acid but presented lower SSC and SSC/acid ratio at harvest time in both seasons. Also, data showed highest value of chlorophyll (a-b) and the lost value of carotenidos in fruit peel produced on Volkamere lemon compared with those on sour orange rootstock. It is not recommended to buded for Washington navel orange cultivar on Volkamer lemon. Since the fruits produced have poor physical and chemical properties.
