Abstract

To evaluate seedlings of different species of citrus in terms of growth parameters, an experiment was conducted during 2007-08 at the college of Horticulture and Forestry, (MPUAT), Jhalarapatan, Jhalawar. It was found that Rough lemon had maximum growth in terms of height, number of leaves, length of nodes and number of nodes. The maximum water potential of leaves was recorded under Carrizo rootstock though it was at par with Rough lemon. Leaf area and perimeter were found maximum under Sour orange. It was found that out of the seedlings of different species of citrus tested, Rough lemon had vigorous growth performance.
