R  aPlant growth, yield and fruit quality of ten satsuma mandarin varieties (Citrus unshiu Marcow.)  c2010  aT02.223, pdf.  aSatsuma mandarins ‘Clauselina’, ‘Okitsu’, ‘Unshiu’ SRA 529, ‘Saigon’ SRA 227, ‘Panaché’ SRA 579, ‘Salzara’ SRA 341, ‘Miyagawa’ SRA 444, ‘Kowano’ SRA 167, ‘FCAV-59’ and ‘A2 60.0’ grafted onto ‘Swingle’ citrumelo, were planted in 2001 using a randomized block design, with 3 replications and 2 plants per plot, in Bebedouro, at the northern region of São Paulo State, Brazil. The experimental plots were drip irrigated from 2006. In the 2004-2008 period, the ‘Okitsu’, ‘Un-shiu’, ‘Miyagawa’, ‘Kowano’ and ‘A2 60.0’ varieties had a cumulative yield of 132.20 to 206.11 kg/plant (86.20 to 134.12 t·ha-1). In the same period, the cumulative yields of ‘Clauselina’, ‘Saigon’, ‘Panaché’, ‘Salzara’ and ‘FCAV-59’ were significantly lower, from 17.54 to 99.76 kg/plant (11.70 to 66.37 t·ha-1). In the 2006-2008 period (year 5 to 7 after planting), mean yield efficiency was 3.70 kg?m-3 for all but the ‘Panaché’ mandarin, which had the lowest yield efficiency, of only 0.48 kg·m-3. ‘Miyagawa’ and ‘A2 60.0’ mandarins had lowest alternate bearing index (0.38 and 0.40, respectively), while the other varieties showed indexes from 0.55 to 0.70. In 2008, higher canopy volume growth rate was recorded on ‘Unshiu’ Satsuma trees (11.90 m3·yr-1), while the lowest growth rate was observed on ‘Clauselina’ trees (3.26 m3·yr-1). In the 2006-2008 period, the ‘Panaché’ and ‘Unshiu’ mandarins had the lowest ratio, of 10.68 and 11.41 respectively, indicating their earlier ripening behavior. On the other hand, the ‘Clauselina’, ‘Okitsu’, ‘Miyagawa’ and ‘A2 60.0’ mandarins showed the highest ratio values, from 14.04 to 15.07, and behaved as late-ripening varieties. An intermediate group, of mid-season ripening varieties, was formed by the ‘Saigon’, ‘Salzara’, ‘Kowano’ and ‘FCAV-59’ mandarins, with ratio values of 12.34 a 13.07  avarieties  aCitrus Unshiu  aFruta Cítrica  aVariedade  aTangerina-Satsuma1 aSTUCHI, E.
