Tools for climate resilience in tree fruit I: large-dwarfing rootstocks can alleviate sunburn damage in “Buckeye Gala” apple

Investigation of Some Vegetative and Reproductive Characteristics of Five Apple Cultivars in ‘Guttingen V’ System

Orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. Intensification is possible using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping and produce large quantities of fruit compared to the amount of wood produced. Therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of ...

Effects of in vivo mycorrhization on micropropagated fruit tree rootstocks

In order to establish an endomycorrhizal symbiosis on micropropagated plants and to evaluate its effect on plant growth and survival, three rootstocks belonging to the Prunus genus were used: M51 (P. dulcis), GF677 (P. persica×P. dulcis) and cv Citation (P. domestica×P. persica). The plants were micropropagated and in vitro rooted. Spores of Glomus mosseae (LMSS) and Scutellospora calospora (SC...

Effect of Three Apple Rootstocks on the Population of the Small Red-Belted Clearwing Borer, Synanthedon myopaeformis

Abstract Experiments were conducted in Ash-Shoubak area of Jordan from June 2003 to September 2005 to study the effect of three apple rootstocks on the development of the small red-belted clearwing borer, Synanthedon myopaeformis (Borkh.) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), under field conditions. Mondial Gala apple trees grafted on the dwarfing rootstock M9 and the semi-dwarfing rootstock M26 were equall...
