<br/><br/> The purpose of the present research was to evaluate the performance of Valencia and Navel orange (Citrus Sinensis (L.) Osbek.) trees budded on Volkamer lemon (C.volkamariana Tan and Psq)and / or Sour orange (C.aurantium) grown in two soil types (loamy and sandy soil) to find the optimal combination for each case. In loamy soil, Navel and Valencia orange trees budded on Volkamer lemon rootstock were significant increasing in all most vegetative growth parameters, fruit quality, leaf pigment content and nutrient status. As for sandy soil, Navel and Valencia orange trees budded on sour orange rootstock were significantly increasing in all most vegetative growth parameters, fruit chemical properties and nutrient status
