Abstract This study was carried out in saran house of Desert Research Center Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, El Matariya, Cairo, Egypt during 2014 to 2017 seasons. The genotypes which used as rootstocks and interstocks were sour orange (Citrus aurantium.) and volkamer lemon (Citrus volkameriana.) Whereas, the cultivars which used as a scion source was Valencia orange and Navel orange (Citrus sinensis.). The aim of these experiments are to study the effect of interstock on growth and leaf mineral content, total indols, total phenols and C/N ratio of Valencia and Navel orange transplants. The first experiment Effect of interstock on growth and leaf mineral content of Valencia orange transplants: 1. Vegetative growth parameters 1.1.
