Comportamento de catorze porta-enxertos para o limão eureka km 47 na região de Araraquara-SP Behaviour of fourteen rootstocks for eureka lemon [Citrus limon (L) Burm. F. ] cv. km 47, in Araraquara, SP, Brazil

Abstract

Foi avaliado o comportamento de 14 porta-enxertos para o limão 'Eureka km 47' [Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f.], clone nucelar, em experimento instalado em 1991, na Fazenda Fittipaldi, Araraquara-SP. Os porta-enxertos foram: tangelos 'Orlando' e 'Seminole' (C. reticulata Blanco x C. paradisi Macfad.), tangerinas 'Cleópatra' (C. reshni hort. ex Tanaka) e 'Sunki' [C. sunki (Hayata) hort. ex Tanaka], limões 'Cravo' (C. limonia Osbeck), 'Rugoso da África' (C. jambhiri Lush.) e 'Volkameriano Catania 2' (C. volkameriana V. Ten. & Pasq.), laranja 'Caipira DAC' [C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck], laranja 'Azeda Doble Cálice' (C. aurantium L.), trifoliatas 'EEL'e 'Kryder 8-5' [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], citrange 'Morton' [P. trifoliata (L.) Raf. x C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck], C. karna Raf. e C. pennivesiculata (Lush.) Tanaka. As produções foram avaliadas no período de 1998 a 2002. As maiores produções médias em peso de frutos estiveram relacionadas aos porta-enxertos C. pennivesiculata e tangerina 'Cleópatra' (>220 kg/planta). Entre os porta-enxertos que induziram as mais baixas produções, estão C. karna, os dois tangelos, os dois trifoliatas e a 'Caipira DAC' (Fourteen rootstocks were compared in a trial started in 1991, for Eureka lemon cv. km 47, nucellar clone, in Araraquara, Brazil. The rootstocks tested were Orlando and Seminole tangelos (C. reticulata Blanco x C. paradisi Macfad.), Cleopatra mandarin (C. reshni hort. ex Tanaka), Sunki mandarin [C. sunki (Hayata) hort. ex Tanaka], Rangpur Lime (C. limonia Osbeck), Rough Lemon cv. African (C. jambhiri Lush.), and Volkamerican cv Catania 2 (C. volkameriana V. Ten. & Pasq.), sweet orange [C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck] cv. Caipira DAC, sour orange (C. aurantium L.), Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf. cv. EEL, P. trifoliata (L.) Raf. cv. Kryder 8-5, Morton citrange [P. trifoliata (L.) Raf. x C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck], C. karna Raf. and C. pennivesiculata (Lush.) Tanaka. Yield was measured by weight of fruits per tree, for a period of five years (1998-2002). The best yielding rootstocks were C. pennivesiculata and Cleopatra mandarin (> 220 kg/tree). Citrus karna, both tangelos, both trifoliates and sweet orange cv. Caipira DAC presented the lowest fruit yields (<180 kg/tree). Fruit quality and percentage of trees affected by gummosis were also studied. No significant variation was observed for fruit quality characteristics for trees on different rootstocks, while trees on C. penivesiculata and sour orange were resistant to gummosis infection.
