====== ODEM====== {{ :ru:citrus:mandarin:deliciosa:kalif-odem.jpg?100|Sticker with which variety ODEM is sold}} A [[ru:citrus:mandarin:deliciosa:start|Mediterranean mandarin]] variety of medium maturity characterized by easy peeling of the rind and high taste, aroma, absence of seeds and good yield (50--70 kg per tree). The size of the fruit is medium, the shape is flattened-round, the rind is rich dark orange color. In Israel it ripens 2-4 weeks earlier than Orri. ====Origin==== In 1985 a hybrid was obtained by controlled crossing between the mandarin ORAH (female parent) and a mandarin, which later received the varietal name SHANI (pollinator). The seedling of the resulting hybrid was subjected to a radiation irradiation procedure in 1996 and the mutation resulted in a new variety that was released in 2005 and named ODEM. The variety was released by the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture in 2012. ====Sources==== * [[https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP24730P3/en|Patent USPP24730P3]] * [[https://www.citrusresourcewarehouse.org.za/home/document-home/news-articles/south-african-fruit-journal-safj/safj-2015/2705-sa-fruit-journal-april-may-2015-israeli-citrus-industry-south-african-perspective/file|Stander J.
