In an experiment set in a field in 1984 at the Experiment Station of Umbauba-SE, was studied the behavior of 'Pera' sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck], clone D6 , grafted on five rootstocks in a soil of Brazilian northeast coastal tableland ecosystem. The data from the 9th to the 13th year, after planting, indicated that the rootstocks - 'Rangpur' lime (Citrus limonia Osb.), 'Volkamer' lemon (C. volkameriana Ten. & Pasq.), 'Catania 2' and 'Palermo' selections, 'Florida Rough' lemon (C. jambhiri Lush.) and 'Cleopatra' mandarin (C. reshni Hort. ex Tan.) did not show statistic difference related to productivity, juice percentage TSS, giving evidence that the rootstocks 'Catania 2', 'Palermo' and 'Cleopatra' can be used with the same performance of 'Rangpur' lime and 'Rough' lemon, the most grafted in Sergipe and north coast of Bahia state citricultures fields.
