Abstract
Lapins sweet cherry was planted on ten cherry rootstocks in several Alpe-Adria countries (Germany, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia) in spring 1997. Tabel Edabriz, Weiroot 13, Weiroot 72, Weiroot 158, GiSelA 4, GiSelA 5, GiSelA 195/20, PiKu 4.20 = PiKu 1 and MaxMa 14 were tested and compared with F12/1. Tree vigour (canopy volume and trunk cross-sectional area), yield, yield efficiency and fruit quality were recorded from 1999 to 2005. The results clearly showed the influence of locations and rootstocks on tree vigour, yield, yield efficiency and fruit size.
At the end of the trial, rootstocks were classified with regard to tree vigour into six groups.
The most vigorous rootstock was F12/1 and the weakest was Weiroot 72. All trees on GiSelA 4 in Bilje and on Tabel Edabriz in Sondio died before the trial ended.
The highest cumulative yield was obtained with Weiroot 158 and the greatest yield efficiency with W 72. Tabel Edabriz negatively influenced fruit size.
