      abstract = {New citrus rootstocks were developed by sexual  hybridization and evaluated for vigor, health, uniformity  from seed, and resistance to disease. Hybrid rootstocks  with favorable combinations of traits were budded with  common scions and established in replicated field trials  along with standard rootstocks at several locations for  evaluation of effects on tree health, tree size, fruit  quality, and yield. Significant differences were observed  in performance of different rootstocks. One new USDA hybrid  rootstock, HRS-812, produced healthy standard-size trees  with excellent yields in Florida trials with 'Valencia'  (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) and 'Ambersweet' orange,  'Fallglo' citrus hybrid, and 'Sunburst' mandarin (C.  reticulata Blanco) scions and appeared resistant to  tristeza virus. Rootstock trials at two locations in Puerto  Rico with 'Dancy' mandarin and 'Chironja' scions on HRS-812  rootstock gave good tree growth and excellent yields. The  information collected in these trials can be useful in  selecting rootstocks for new plantings of citrus.},
