Influences of rootstock and agro-climatic condition on physico-chemical and bioactive compounds of Gunda Gundo orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) in the Northern Ethiopia
Rootstocks have a significant influence on adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress conditions and quality of fruit. So, choice of rootstock for a specific growing region is an important decision for a grower to make when establishing a commercial citrus orchard. This study was undertaken to assess e...

So, choice of rootstock for a specific growing region is an important decision for a grower to make when establishing a commercial citrus orchard. This study was undertaken to assess effects of rootstock and location on quality of orange fruit. The study was conducted over two consecutive years (2017/18 and 2018/19). Scions from the Gunda Gundo orange grove were grafted on rough lemon and sour orange rootstocks and planted in Tigray and Afar, Ethiopia at four sites (Abala, Agulae, Adiha and Rama). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. Data on different physico-chemical and bioactive compounds were collected and analyzed using R software (version 4). Compared to sour orange, rough lemon rootstock revealed higher fruit mass (151.96 g, 195.38 g), fruit length (62.27 mm, 68.88 mm) and fruit diameter (65.58 mm, 71.3 mm), in 2017/18, 2018/19, respectively.

Rootstocks have a significant influence on adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress conditions and quality of fruit. So, choice of rootstock for a specific growing region is an important decision for a grower to make when establishing a commercial citrus orchard. This study was undertaken to assess effects of rootstock and location on quality of orange fruit. The study was conducted over two consecutive years (2017/18 and 2018/19). Scions from the Gunda Gundo orange grove were grafted on rough lemon and sour orange rootstocks and planted in Tigray and Afar, Ethiopia at four sites (Abala, Agulae, Adiha and Rama).
