Citrangor 43728 - INIA Uruguay

(1/2) > >>

mikkel:

When searching for Citrangor 43728 I came across the INIA in Uruguay, apparently a local counterpart to Riverside

Unfortunately there is no other source for Citrangor 43728. Does anyone know it?

And does anyone know INIA?

Florian:
I have been to Uruguay twice but I have never heard of INIA. Is there anything special about Citrangor 43728?

mikkel:
So far it is only the name, Citrangor is a Citange x Orange backcross at INRA. This could be interesting, at least in theory...

usirius:
Citrangors and other backcrosses of existing Poncirus-Citrus hybrids with Citrus were already carried out in the early 20th century in order to achieve better rootstocks for Citrus. The breeding of Citrangor C-43278 also dates back many decades. The disadvantage of using Citrangors as a rootstock was that the fruit yield was low, while other properties were better than with other rootstocks. As with most other Citrus-Poncirus crosses, the breeding goal of Citrangors was unfortunately never to achieve a cold-tolerant hybrid with good fruit. Because where Citrus is grown commercially, winter is usually not a problem.
