Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of the 'Pera CNPMF-D6' orange and 'Tahiti CNPMF-02' acid lime, in combination with different rootstocks, in the state of Pará, Brazil. In the first trial, the following four rootstocks were evaluated: 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' lime, hybrid LVK × LCR-010, 'TSK Tropical' mandarin, and 'San Diego' citrandarin. In the second trial, six rootstocks were evaluated: 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' lime, hybrid LVK × LCR-010, hybrid TSKC × CTSW-033, 'Riverside' citrandarin, 'San Diego' citrandarin, and 'BRS Pompeu' citrumelandarin. Between 2019 and 2024, the following variables were evaluated: plant height; canopy volume, before and after harvest; drought tolerance; number of fruit per plant; fruit mass; productivity; and productive efficiency. Plant height was influenced by treatments only in the case of 'Pera' orange tree, which showed the highest values on the 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' and 'San Diego' rootstocks. The lowest canopy volume was found in 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' for the 'Tahiti' acid lime tree, and in TSKC × CTSW-033 for 'Pera' orange tree. All rootstocks showed drought tolerance. The greatest number of fruit per plant, and the highest values of fruit mass and productivity are observed for 'Tahiti' acid lime on the 'TSK Tropical' and 'San Diego' rootstocks and for 'Pera' orange on the 'Santa Cruz Rangpur' and 'San Diego' rootstocks.
