In: Journal of Agricultural Research Tanta Univeristy 2002.v.28(1)Summary: This investigation was carried out on 4-year old five citrus rootstocks namely; Volkamer lemon (VL), Troyer citrange (TC), Rangpur lime (RL), Cleopatra mandarin (CM) and sour orange (SO) planted in Sep. 1995 at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station, Kafr El-Sheikh. where the soil is a slight saline alkaline clayey soil. The evaluation results indicated the superiority of VL followed by RL as better rootstocks than SO and other rootstocks. Their trees are characteriLed by: Vigorous vegetative growth as indexed by tree height. volume index, trunk cross sectional area, total leaf number and area per plant and entire plant component (fresh weight). Also, VL followed by RL had the greatest total root system (kg), the largest root horizontal spread and root vertical penetration. Moreover,they had the greatest fibrous roots with more superficial distribution.
