Abstract:

In this study, the effects of local sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.), Taiwanica (Citrus taiwanica Tan. and Shim.), Yuzu (Citrus junos Sieb. ex Tan.), Troyer and Carrizo citranges (Citrus sinensis Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata Raf. ) and Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan.) on yield, fruit quality and rind and juice color of ‘Moro’ blood orange variety were evaluated for two years under Adana ecological conditions. Fruit yield, fruit weight, height, diameter, index, rind thickness, juice content, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, TSS/TA ratio, fruit rind and juice color were determined in order to see the effects of various rootstocks. Fruit yield was highest on Yuzu followed by Citrus taiwanica. The thinnest fruit rinds were fruits from the trees on Carrizo and Troyer in the first and the second year, respectively. Rootstock significantly affected juice content in both years. The highest juice contents were from fruits on Yuzu in the first year and on Troyer citrange for the second year. Also, there was a significant rootstock effect on total soluble solids and ascorbic acid content, highest for fruits from the trees on Carrizo. According to the hue^o data, red color in rind was highest in the fruits on Carrizo and Troyer citranges and red color in color samples were highest from fruits on Yuzu and Carrizo citrange.
