indian ber (ziziphus mauritiana) has growing type as grape and is inclined to horizental and down ward growth. if it is not trained appropriately, it would grow into very bushy with thiny shoots. hence, such trees have short lives, and are liable to pests and diseases with low yield. fruit harvesting is also difficult in bushy trees. therefore, proper pruning and training of young trees is esse...

in this research, the effect of irrigation duration on growth characteristics of thomson navel orange grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated in complete randomized block design in iran citrus research institute. factors included rootstock in three levels (poncirus (poncitus trifoliate), citrange (citrus sinensis  poncitus trifoliata) and sour orange (citrus aurantium)) duration of irrigatio...

This experiment was conducted during 2021-2022 in the Duhok University nursery, Iraqi Kurdistan region, to study effects of three different Apple cultivars (Super red, Scarlet and Royal caka), budding dates (28th August,18th September 8th October 2021) levels balanced fertilizer N20%, P20% K20 %; (0 g, 2g 4g. l-1) on successful percentage some vegetative growth characteristics apple transplants...

This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2021 and 2022 to evaluate the performance of some scion foreign imported mango cultivars (Keitt, Naomi, Osten Shelly) on three rootstocks (Sukkary, Zebda 4/9) grown in sandy soil with drip irrigation systemin a private orchard nursery at Almansoria, Giza Governorate, Egypt. experiment laid out split-plot design success, initial growthperfor...

in study was conducted in two separate experiments in 2011-2013 in seeds and plant improvement institute. in the first experiment, status growth scion and resistance to spring late frost and content proline in 10 genotypes and cultivar almond, grafted on gf677 rootstock included touno, non pariel, shokofeh, sahand, mamayi, shahrood 12, a200, 1-25, 1-16 and 13-40 with 10 replication as a complet...

Use of dwarfing rootstocks has dramatically increased the profitability of fruit production by reducing production costs, reduced chemical use and higher density plantings. Despite the importance of rootstock-induced dwarfing, the cause of this phenomenon is not known. Using two commercially available graft combinations consisting of a sweet cherry scion, 'Bing', on a dwarfing rootstock (Gi5) o...

Contributions of sites, rootstocks, and scion clones (and the interactions between these factors) to scion growth and reproduction were studied in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Twenty-five full-sib families were used as rootstocks. Six scion clones were grafted on them in all combinations. Study sites were three seed orchards in the southeastern United States; trees were measured 8 years afte...

In order to separate the effects of size and meristem maturation on age-related changes in shoot growth behaviour, a reciprocal grafting experiment was conducted involving juvenile (J), mid-age (MA) and old-growth (OG) red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) trees as both scion donors and rootstock. The effects of rootstock and scion age on vegetative growth, foliar morphology and reproductive developm...

Previous work has suggested that peach scion cultivar exerts a significant influence on incidence of peach tree short life (PTSL) in trees budded onto Nemaguard and Flordaguard seedling peach rootstocks. If this influence is consistent across a range of rootstocks then the influence of scion cultivar might offer a new tool for the management of PTSL. Growers could minimize losses on those sites...
