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

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

Vigor is a key trait of these hybrids when used as rootstocks, determining the development rate of the grafted plant, canopy dimensions, and scion compatibility.

In the reference 4 varieties crop Hybrids between Citrus x aurantium L. x Citrus trifoliata L., where this is mentioned in the description.

Hybrids of Citrus x aurantium and Citrus trifoliata inherit the ability to modulate growth from their parental forms, where Citrus trifoliata genes act as a tool for restricting scion vegetation. High rootstock vigor accelerates the production of nursery stock, while moderate values are valued in intensive horticulture for creating compact orchards with high planting density.

The vigor of these hybrids directly affects fruit quality and the physiological compatibility of the grafting components. Excessive rootstock activity can lead to a decrease in sugar accumulation in fruits and structural disorders at the graft union. The trait is evaluated through analysis of trunk diameter, shoot formation intensity, and linear canopy parameters in comparison with control samples.
