  • Observations on Impietratura Disease Symptoms in Four Citrus Species
    Observations on Impietratura Disease Symptoms in Four Citrus Species A. Caruso, M. Davino and G. Terranova ABSTRACT. Citrus impietratura disease affects citrus cultivars in the Mediterranean Basin. The indexing of impietratura disease is based on symptoms on indicator plants such as Volkamer lemon or grapefruit or on the inspection of the trees in the field. This requires many years. In this paper the effects of a severe isolate of impietratura on sweet orange, Volkamer lemon, rough lemon and Marsh Seedless grapefruit is reported. Our observations indicate that rough lemon is a better indicator of fruit symptoms than Volkamer lemon, grapefruit and sweet orange. Index words. biological assay, albedo gumming, rough lemon.

  • Winter Citrus Brightens Cold Weather Gloom
    By Frieda’s Specialty Produce CEO Karen Caplan What better way to enliven the spirit during the winter months than with the bright colors, refreshing fragrance, and sweet taste of fresh citrus fruit. Not a lot of people associate citrus fruit with winter because it seems to be available year round, but, in fact, the winter months are when citrus fruits are at their sweetest. Florida produced 63% of the total U.S. citrus crop in 2012 with California coming in at 34%, and Texas and Arizona rounding out the last 3%. Florida is the largest grower of oranges at 70% of total U.S. production and grapefruit at 65%, while California is the largest producer of lemons at 92% and tangerines at 80%. Did you know that Americans consume more citrus per person than any other fruit? The bulk of this is attributable to orange juice, but the fresh citrus category is still among the top sellers in the industry. Our top selling citrus at Frieda’s include Oroblanco, Meyer lemons,blood oranges, A pomelo-grapefruit cross, the Oroblanco can brighten up a range of dishes. UGLI® (Uniq) fruit, and kumquats. Most of our citrus come from California, but our UGLI® (Uniq) fruit are only grown in Jamaica. We also extend our Meyer lemon season by sourcing from New Zealand and our blood oranges by importing them from Australia and Italy. Meaning "white gold" in Spanish, the Oroblanco was developed in 1958 and is a cross between a white grapefruit and a pomelo, the giant Chinese citrus. The fruit has yellow skin, a thick rind, and is virtually seedless.

  • Production of Interstocked 'Pera'sweet Orange
    Production of interstocked orange nursery trees 5 PRODUCTION OF INTERSTOCKED ‘PERA’ SWEET ORANGE NURSERY TREES ON ‘VOLKAMER’ LEMON AND ‘SWINGLE’ CITRUMELO ROOTSTOCKS Eduardo Augusto Girardi1; Francisco de Assis Alves Mourão Filho2* 1 Treze de Maio, 1299 - Apto. 52 - 13400-300 - Piracicaba, SP - Brasil. 2 USP/ESALQ - Depto. de Produção Vegetal, C.P. 09 - 13418-900 - Piracicaba, SP - Brasil. *Corresponding author <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: Incompatibility among certain citrus scion and rootstock cultivars can be avoided through interstocking. ‘Pera’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) nursery tree production was evaluated on ‘Swingle’ citrumelo (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf x Citrus paradisi Macf) and ‘Volkamer’ lemon (Citrus volkameriana Pasquale) incompatible rootstocks, using ‘Valencia’ and ‘Hamlin’ sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), ‘Sunki’ mandarin (Citrus sunki Hort. ex Tanaka), and ‘Cleopatra’ mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tanaka) as interstocks. Citrus nursery trees interstocked with ‘Pera’ sweet orange on both rootstocks were used as control. ‘Swingle’ citrumelo led to the highest interstock bud take percentage, the greatest interstock height and rootstock diameter, as well as the highest scion and root system dry weight. Percentage of ‘Pera’ sweet orange dormant bud eye was greater for plants budded on ‘Sunki’ mandarin than those budded on ‘Valencia’ sweet orange. No symptoms of incompatibility were observed among any combinations of rootstocks, interstocks and scion. Production cycle can take up to 17 months with higher plant discard. Key words: citrus, incompatibility, interstock, propagation PRODUÇÃO DE MUDAS DE LARANJA ‘PÊRA’ INTERENXERTADAS NOS PORTA-ENXERTOS LIMÃO ‘VOLKAMERIANO’ E CITRUMELO ‘SWINGLE’ RESUMO: A incompatibilidade entre certas variedades de copa e porta-enxertos de citros pode ser evitada através da interenxertia.

  • CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018
    CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018 Citrus Nurseries affected by Hurricane Irma, September 2017 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Our Vision The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration will be diligent in providing high yielding, pathogen tested, quality budlines that will positively impact the productivity and prosperity of our citrus industry. Our Mission The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration administers a program to assist growers and nurserymen in producing citrus nursery trees that are believed to be horticulturally true to varietal type, productive, and free from certain recognizable bud-transmissible diseases detrimental to fruit production and tree longevity. Annual Report 2018 July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration Ben Rosson, Chief This is the 64th year of the Citrus Budwood Registration Program which began in Florida in 1953. Citrus budwood registration and certification programs are vital to having a healthy commercial citrus industry. Clean stock emerging from certification programs is the best way to avoid costly disease catastrophes in young plantings and their spread to older groves. Certification programs also restrict or prevent pathogens from quickly spreading within growing areas. Regulatory endeavors have better prospects of containing or eradicating new disease outbreaks if certification programs are in place to control germplasm movement. Budwood registration has the added benefit in allowing true-to-type budlines to be propagated. The selection of high quality cultivars for clonal propagation gives growers uniform plantings of high quality trees. The original mother stock selected for inclusion in the Florida budwood program is horticulturally evaluated for superior performance, either by researchers, growers or bureau staff.
