Golden autumn sugar orange
In 2017, the Citrus Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) obtained the right to a new plant variety selected from the "Ehime 30" as the female parent and "Sugar Orange" as the paternal parent.
The golden autumn sugar orange plant is strong, compact in shape, and has a strong fruiting ability. The fruit is compact, oblate, and has a fruit shape index of 0.76. The oil cells are obvious, delicate and smooth, and the skin is thin and easy to peel. The flesh is orange-red, with 10-12 petals, seedless.
The average fruit weight is 82.4 grams, and the average soluble solids content is 13.5%.
The harvest of the "Zhongcian No. 5" cultivated in the open field in Chongming has basically been completed, and they have experienced a low temperature of -6 °C, and the six-year-old trees have not shown obvious frostbite for the time being.
A few days ago, the Office of the Forest Varieties Examination and Approval Committee of the Municipal Forestry Bureau organized experts to carry out on-site verification of the citrus varieties "Zhongcian Institute No. 5" applied by the Shanghai Citrus Research Institute. The expert group believes that "Zhongkan Institute No. 5" is of good quality and begins to mature at the end of October, which is similar to the maturity period of the main cultivar "Miyagawa", but the tree retention period is long, and the greenhouse cultivation can leave the tree to be harvested until mid-January, which has a good promotion prospect, and it is recommended to use facility cultivation in Shanghai.
