Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Four new citrus rootstocks have been released in Florida by USDA for commercial use. These rootstocks provide a series of new rootstock options combining disease resistance and good productivity along with a range of tree sizes. Other new rootstocks with additional disease resistance and soil adaptation are also under development. The incorporation of resistance to citrus greening disease is a high priority for future citrus rootstock development.
