Choose the Right Citrus Rootstock: HS932/HS178, rev. 9/2020

Abstract

After the arrival in 2005 of citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing in Florida, making a profitable rootstock decision became more complicated.  New rootstocks are being developed and released for commercialization at an accelerated pace.  Regardless of these changes, there remains a time-honored framework for selecting rootstocks. This publication provides guidance in 4 aspects of scion selection: site history, objectives, sources of information on rootstocks, and choosing a rootstock that matches site and grower objectives.
