Abstract
Aurojima (IAC N 2680-91) is a new red-skin-yellow-fleshed nectarine selection of the Instituto Agronômico, Capta – Frutas, Jundiaí, State of São Paulo, Brazil, adapted to the mild winter regions.
It was originated as an open-pollinated seedling of Ouromel-4 (IAC 1870-2) – an F1 hybrid obtained by cross between Ouromel (IAC 2-76), an ancient IAC peach, with Sunred a nectarine introduced from Flórida, USA. The low chilling requirement, high plant vigour and productivity, medium-large fruit size, besides the excellent fruit appearance, quality and taste, are the main characteristics that justify the inclusion of this new IAC selection in the commercial peach orchards of São Paulo and regions of similar climate.
