Author(s): Kuldeep Pandey, HS Rattanpal and Jagveer Singh
Abstract: Rootstock can improve tree vigor, bloom period, fruit quality and yield of kinnow mandarin. The use of rootstock is a choice for improving the productivity. The aim of this two year study to find out the effect of rootstocks (Rough lemon, Carrizo citrange, Volkamer lemon, CRH-12, NRCC-1, NRCC-2, NRCC-3, NRCC-4, NRCC-5 and NRCC-6) on the flowering period, pollen viability and number of segment of kinnow mandarin. Kinnow started flowering 13th March on almost all rootstocks. However, trees on NRCC-1, NRCC-5 started flowering from 14th March. The earliest full bloom period was recorded on Carrizo, CRH-12 (17th -22th March). None of the rootstocks affects pollen viability significantly during the period of study.
