In order to improve the avocado
quality, extend its harvest season, and prevent the attack of Phytophthora
cinnamomi, elite scion
varieties and root rot resistant stocks were introduced to CAES
from America or Taiwan avocado producing areas. With the hope for
selecting eluit scion varieties and root rot rootstock,
outbreeding, inbreeding and seedling selection methods were
used.¡¥CAES 3¡¦ was found to be a better middle-season variety,
while¡¥Hall¡¦and¡¥Reed¡¦ were found to be better late season
varieties. Enough seedlings could not obtained by using the
outbreeding and inbreeding methods. By using seedling selection,
an eluit variety ¡¦84-O24G¡¦ which tastes better and had the
attribute of high resistant to anthracose was found, and after
further test it could be a promising variety in future.
