    • Cultivar Selection Trials of Navel Orange in Arizona for 2006-07
      Wright, Glenn C.; Wright, Glenn; Department of Plant Sciences, University of Arizona, Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center, Yuma, AZ (College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), 2007-10)
      Two orange cultivar trials have been established in Arizona, one at the Yuma Mesa Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ and one at the Citrus Agriculture Center, Waddell, AZ. For the navel orange trial in Yuma, all the selections had reduced yields in 2006-07. 'Fisher' navel continues to have the greatest yield. Of the rest in the Yuma trial, 'Lane Late' had the best quality and yield. For the Waddell trial, the fourth year data has been collected, and suggests that 'Fisher', 'Beck-Earli' and 'Lane Late' are outperforming the other cultivars tested to date.

    • Lemon Rootstock Trials in Arizona - 2006-07
      Wright, Glenn C.; Peña, Marco A.; Wright, Glenn; Department of Plant Sciences, University of Arizona, Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center, Yuma, AZ (College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), 2007-10)
      In a rootstock evaluation trial planted in 1993, five rootstocks, 'Carrizo' citrange, Citrus macrophylla, 'Rough Lemon', Swingle citrumelo and Citrus volkameriana were selected for evaluation using 'Limoneira 8A Lisbon' as the scion. 1994-2006 yield and packout results indicate that trees on C. macrophylla, C. volkameriana and ‘Rough Lemon’ are superior to those on other rootstocks in both growth and yield. C. macrophylla does not consistently outperform C. volkameriana. 'Swingle' and Carrizo’ are performing poorly.

    • 'Lisbon' Lemon Selection Trials in Arizona - 2006-07
      Wright, Glenn C.; Wright, Glenn; Department of Plant Sciences, U. of A., Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center, Yuma, AZ (College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), 2007-10)
      Four 'Lisbon' lemon selections, 'Frost Nucellar', 'Corona Foothills', 'Limoneira 8A' and 'Prior' were selected for evaluation on Citrus volkameriana rootstock. Yield was extremely low for 2006-07, but these results do not change the fact that that 'Limoneira 8A Lisbon' and 'Corona Foothills Lisbon' are superior to the other two selections tested.

    • Mandarin Selection Trials in Arizona - 2006-07
      Wright, Glenn C.; Wright, Glenn; Department of Plant Sciences, University of Arizona, Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center, Yuma, AZ (College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), 2007-10)
      Third year yield and packout data from a trial containing 'Fina', 'Fina Sodea', 'Sidi Aissa', 'Oroval', 'W. Murcott Afourer', 'Fremont', and 'Gold Nugget' selections were collected in 2006-07. For the year, 'Fina Sodea' had the greatest yield, and average fruit size, while 'Gold Nugget' had the smallest yield, and ‘Fremont’ had the smallest fruit size.

    • Pollination of W. Murcott Afourer Mandarins

    • Results of New Cultivar Selection Trials for Lemon in Arizona - 2006-07
      Wright, Glenn C.; Wright, Glenn; Department of Plant Sciences, U. of A., Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center, Yuma, AZ (College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), 2007-10)
      Three lemon cultivar selection trials are being conducted at the Yuma Mesa Agriculture Center in Somerton, AZ. Data from these trials suggest that 'Limonero Fino 49' and 'Cascade Eureka' selections may be a suitable alternative for the varieties most commonly planted in Southwest Arizona today. 'Femminello' and 'Villafranca' might also be planted on an experimental basis
