Fallahi, E. | Rodney, D.R. | Mousavi, Z.
Tree growth, yield, and fruit quality of eight lemon cultivars [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f.] on macrophylla (Alemow) (C. macrophylla Wester) rootstock were compared when grown in sandy soil in the arid climate of southwestern Arizona. 'Foothill Lisbon' had higher cumulative yield and titratable acids than 'Monroe Lisbon', 'Prior Lisbon', 'Eureka', and 'Villafranca', and had larger fruit than other 'Lisbon' cultivars. 'Prior Lisbon' produced a larger tree canopy with lower yield efficiency than all other cultivars and did not show any decline due to sieve tube necrosis 12 years after planting. Overall, 'Eureka' cultivars and 'Villafranca' had lower relative cumulative yields, canopy volumes, total soluble solids contents, titratable acids, and seed content, but higher tree decline than 'Lisbon' cultivars. Overall, 'Foothill Lisbon', in spite of carrying exocortis viroid, produced good yields and fruit quality and 'Prior Lisbon' had a satisfactory growth performance.
