Abstract

Abstract: In the Extreme South of Bahia, in the Municipality of Ibirapuã, under irrigation, the productive performance of 20 varieties of sweet orange trees, with different maturation times, was evaluated, with the main focus on the orange trees ‘Pera’ (18 clones), ‘Valencia’ (18 clones) and ‘Natal’ (five clones), totaling 58 tops varieties. The rootstocks used were the mandarin tree ‘Sunki Tropical’ and the citrandarins ‘Indio’, ‘Riverside’ and ‘San Diego’. Each top/rootstock combination, totaling 232, was represented by five plants, observing a planting spacing of 6 m x 3 m. The experiment was implemented on April 21, 2015. The tops Pera Selection CNPMF A15; ‘Pera C-21’; Pera Selection CNPMF D3; ‘Pera D25’; ‘Pera CNPMF E-6’; Pera Selection CNPMF CE-03; Pera Selection Olímpia; ‘Pera Bianchi’; Pera Selection Vacinada; Pera Selection Ipeal-E3; Pera Selection Ibotirama; ‘Valencia CNPMF Montemorelos’; ‘Natal CNPMF-112’; Selection Berna, Selection F-Menuda; ‘BRS Sincorá’; ‘Aquiri’; Selection Early Oblong; Selection Russas P.S.; ‘Seleta Itaboraí’; ‘Pineapple’ and ‘Westin’ were more productive on the ‘Sunki Tropical’ rootstock. The tops Pera Selection Ibotirama; Valencia Selection CNPMF 02; Valencia Selection CNPMF 03; ‘Valencia CNPMF-27’; Valencia Selection CNPMF 36; Valencia Selection L. White; ‘Natal CNPMF 112’; Selection Berna; ‘Aquiri’; Selection Early Oblong; ‘Salustiana’; ‘Diva’ and ‘Hamlin 20’ were more productive on the ‘San Diego’ rootstock. The tops Pera Selection CNPMF 02; Pera Selection CNPMF C-32; ‘Pera CNPMF D-6’; ‘Pera D25’; Pera Selection Olímpia; Valencia Selection CNPMF 01; Valencia Selection CNPMF 02; Valencia Selection CNPMF; ‘Valencia CNPMF 27’; Valencia Selection CNPMF 36; Valencia Selection CNPMF-F11; Valencia Selection Chapman; ‘Valencia CNPMF Montemorelos’; ‘Valencia CNPMF Tuxpan’; Natal Selection CNPMF 02; Natal Selection Ipeal; ‘Natal CNPMF 112’; Selection F-Menuda, ‘Seleta Itaboraí’; ‘Salustiana’; ‘Pineapple’; ‘Hamlin 20’ and ‘MelRosa’ were more productive on the ‘Riverside’ rootstock. The tops Pera Selection CNPMF A15; ‘Pera D25’; Pera Selection Ipeal E3; Valencia Selection CNPMF 01; Valencia Selection CNPMF 02; Valencia Selection CNPMF; Valencia Selection CNPMF 36; Valencia Selection CNPMF-F11;Valencia Selection Delta; Valencia Selection Chapman; ‘Valencia CNPMF Montemorelos’;Valencia Selection Registro; ‘Valencia CNPMF Tuxpan’; Valencia Selection CNPMF21; Natal Selection CNPMF 01; ‘Natal CNPMF 112’; Selection Berna; ‘Aquiri’; ‘Diva’ and‘Hamlin 20’were more productive on the ‘Indio’ rootstock.
