Abstract
Citrus cultivation in south-eastern Paraguay has increased over the last years. In this area, the climate is favourable for canker disease, which is endemic to this region and limits grapefruit growth. We investigated the performance of the Parana grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.), which has shown high field-resistance to canker. The trial was performed on three different rootstocks. Tree growth, yield per tree and per hectare and productivity were determined. The variety presented an excellent adaptation to the ecological and social conditions of south-eastern Paraguay. In addition, it meets the requirements and high standards of juice quality of the international market.
