Citrus Rootstock Production

Mass production of virus-free citrus rootstocks for local farmers.

This essential agricultural project addresses the critical need for healthy, virus-free citrus rootstock material, providing local farmers with superior planting material for establishing productive citrus orchards.

Our tissue culture laboratory specializes in the production of certified virus-free citrus rootstocks using advanced micropropagation techniques. The project ensures genetic consistency, disease-free status, and optimal growth characteristics for each rootstock variety produced.

The production process involves meristem culture to eliminate viruses, careful selection of elite mother plants, optimization of multiplication protocols, and thorough quality testing before distribution. We maintain strict phytosanitary standards throughout the entire production cycle.

Key achievements include establishing reliable production protocols for multiple rootstock varieties, creating a sustainable supply chain for the local citrus industry, and providing technical support to farmers. The project contributes to the revitalization of citrus production by addressing one of the industry's most significant challenges: access to clean planting material.
