| The
effect of rootstock (Troyer citrange, Karna Khatta [Citrus karna ] and
Sohsarkar) on fruit drop was investigated for mandarins grown in high
density plantings in India. Plants on all 3 rootstocks showed 2 distinct
waves of drop (a very heavy drop in April-May and severe preharvest
drop in September-October). Plants on Troyer citrange showed the lowest
fruit drop in April-May and the highest pre-harvest fruit drop compared
with the other rootstocks. Overall fruit drop was highest in Sohsarkar
(86.41%) and lowest in Troyer citrange (69.79%). |
