This research was conducted to investigate the effects of pollen of nine citrus cultivars on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Page mandarin. To carry out and for analyzing the results of the research, a Randomized complete Block Design with three replications was implemented for a period of two years, (1997, 1998). After
artificial pollination, data were recorded and the fruits were harvested at a ripe stage. Factors such as weight, diameter, length, volume, peel thickness, juice content, developed and undeveloped seeds, total soluble solids, total acid, vitamin C and
percentage of final fruit set were measured. The results indicated that the pollen of
Siavaraz local sweet orange, had the highest effect on the percentage of final fruit set and pollen of Shel - Mo - Haleh (natural hybrid) and Hamlin orange had the highest effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the fruit respectively. It was concluded that the pollen of Hamlin orange had the best effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Page mandarin
