Important Rootstocks Indifferent Fruit Crops(15crops) Presentation
| Introduction | ||
|---|---|---|
| Rootstocks play a crucial role in fruit crop production. They determine the tree's vigor, disease resistance, and adaptability to different soil conditions. Understanding important rootstocks in various fruit crops is essential for successful cultivation. | ||
| 1 | ||
| Apple Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Apple rootstocks affect tree size, early bearing, and resistance to diseases. Malling-Merton series (M9, M26) are commonly used for dwarfing apple trees. MM111 is a semi-dwarf rootstock that provides moderate vigor and good anchorage. | ||
| 2 | ||
| Citrus Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Citrus rootstocks impact tree size, drought tolerance, and disease resistance. Carrizo and Swingle are widely used for their adaptability to different soil types. Cleopatra and Volkameriana provide good resistance to citrus tristeza virus. | ||
| 3 | ||
| Pear Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pear rootstocks influence tree size, precocity, and resistance to fire blight. Old Home x Farmingdale (OHxF) series (OHxF 87, OHxF 97) are commonly used for pear trees. Quince rootstocks (BA29, Quince C) are known for their tolerance to wet and heavy soils. | ||
| 4 | ||
| Peach Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Peach rootstocks affect tree size, cold hardiness, and resistance to root-knot nematodes. Lovell and Nemaguard are widely used for their adaptability to different soil conditions. Guardian rootstock provides excellent resistance to peach tree short life disease. | ||
| 5 | ||
| Plum Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Plum rootstocks influence tree size, productivity, and resistance to diseases. Marianna (Marianna 2624, Marianna GF8-1) is commonly used for dwarfing plum trees. St. Julien A is a semi-vigorous rootstock suitable for European plum varieties. | ||
| 6 | ||
| Grape Rootstocks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Grape rootstocks impact vine vigor, resistance to pests, and tolerance to soil conditions. 101-14 Mgt and 3309 C are commonly used for their resistance to phylloxera. SO4 and 420A provide good resistance to nematodes and calcareous soils. | ||
