Study of Growth Characteristics of Some Citrus Cultivars in the Juvenile Stage under Imereti Conditions

Abstract

Citrus cultivars distributed in the Imereti region (broad-leaved tangerine Unshiu, mandarin Kovano Vase, lemon Meyer, orange Washington Navel) are interesting in terms of their different resistance to natural conditions and their tolerance to extreme environmental conditions. In addition to environmental factors, internal factors also influence the formation of new, promising varieties. We studied the growth intensity of citrus seedlings, the duration of vegetation, biometric indicators of seedlings in the juvenile stage and the volume of the assimilation surface.
