Productivity — hybrids between Citrus x aurantium L. x Citrus trifoliata L.

Hybrids between Citrus x aurantium L. x Citrus trifoliata L.

For these hybrids, the concept of productivity in the agronomic sense is absent, as they are used exclusively as rootstocks rather than fruit crops.

In the reference 8 varieties crop Hybrids between Citrus x aurantium L. x Citrus trifoliata L., where this is mentioned in the description.

Hybrids of Citrus x aurantium L. and Citrus trifoliata L. (citradias) are not considered in commercial citrus cultivation as plants for harvesting marketable produce. Their fruits possess poor consumer qualities and high acidity; therefore, yield metrics by mass or volume have no economic significance and are not standardized.

Instead of productivity, the breeding of these hybrids focuses on other functional indicators critical for their use as rootstocks: graft compatibility, cold hardiness, resistance to citrus tristeza virus and citrus greening (Huanglongbing), as well as their influence on the vigor of the scion.
