Performance of the Brasiliano 92 orange cultivar with six trifoliate rootstocks

Abstract

The rootstock plays a crucial role in the fruit tree. For several decades, sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) has been the most widely used rootstock in citrus cultivation. However, the spread of the Tristeza virus (CTV) has prevented the use of sour orange rootstock in new plantings in many areas because it is sensitive to CTV.
