Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Most commercial orchards of mandarins in Paraná grow ‘Ponkan’ trees predominantly grafted on ‘Rangpur’ lime. The limited genetic diversity of citrus orchards for both scion and rootstock may promote pest and disease outbreaks. The late season ‘Montenegrina’ willowleaf mandarin has high potential for orchard diversification because of its higher productivity and better fruit quality. Therefore, this study assessed the agronomic performance of ‘Montenegrina’ mandarin trees grafted on multiple rootstocks under the edaphoclimatic conditions of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. The trial was set in a randomized block design using the rootstocks of ‘Rangpur’ lime, ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin, ‘Sunki’ mandarin, ‘Swingle’ citrumelo, and ‘Fepagro C-13’ citrange replicated six times. The ‘Montenegrina’ mandarin trees were assessed for vegetative growth, yield, and fruit quality. The trees had similar size and yield, regardless of the rootstock, and low alternate bearing indices. The fruit quality parameters varied among the rootstocks between the four cropping seasons. Fruits from trees on ‘Rangpur’ and ‘Cleopatra’ exhibited the highest maturation indices, whereas those from ‘Swingle’ and ‘Fepagro C-13’ produced larger fruits with low number of seeds. In general, ‘Montenegrina’ trees can be grown on all evaluated rootstocks without incompatibility and loses in Londrina, Northern Paraná, Brazil.
Resumo A maioria dos pomares comerciais de tangerineiras no Paraná cultiva ‘Ponka’ enxertada predominantemente no limão ‘Cravo’. A estreita diversidade genética dos pomares de citros, tanto para copa quanto para porta-enxerto, pode promover o surgimento de pragas e de doenças. A tangerina ‘Montenegrina’ tem alto potencial para diversificação de pomares, pois é produtiva e tem frutos de boa qualidade. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho agronômico da tangerineira ‘Montenegrina’ enxertada em múltiplos porta-enxertos nas condições edafoclimáticas de Londrina, Paraná, Brasil. O experimento foi realizado em blocos ao acaso, utilizando os porta-enxertos limão ‘Cravo’, tangerina ‘Cleópatra’, tangerina ‘Sunki’, citrumelo ‘Swingle’ e citrange ‘Fepagro C-13’ repetidos seis vezes. A tangerineira ‘Montenegrina’ foi avaliada quanto ao crescimento vegetativo, à produção e à qualidade dos frutos. As plantas obtiveram tamanho e produtividade semelhantes, independentemente do porta-enxerto, e baixos índices de alternância de produção. Diferenças foram observadas entre os |
