Abstract
Because of the exceptionally high number of available apricot cultivars (Prunus armeniaca L.) and rootstocks, and the high risk of production, it is increasingly pressing to find out, which scion-stock combinations can be cultivated successfully.
Sixteen apricot scion cultivars were budded on 6 different rootstock cultivars.
Apricot seedling, Montclar, Myrobalan 29C, ‘Wavit, ‘Rootpack R, and Fehér besztercei were used as rootstock.
Scions included ‘Bergarouge’, ‘Bergeron’, ‘Ceglédi óriás’, ‘Ceglédi szilárd’, ‘Flavor Cot’, ‘Goldrich’, ‘Gönci magyar kajszi’, ‘Harogem’, ‘Lady Cot’, ‘Lilly Cot’,’Pannónia’, ‘Pink Cot’, ‘Roxana’, ‘Spring Blush’, ‘Tardif de Valence’ and ‘Tom Cot’. This research is performed in the experimental orchard of the MATE Research Centre for Horticultural Sciences, Research Institute of Fruit Growing, Research Station of Cegléd, Hungary.
The experiment was settled in the spring of 2018 with 3×5 m spacing, data are collected in 3rd leaf (2020). The main effect of the different rootstocks can be observed in the growth habit of scions, meanwhile, the scion cultivar also had a moderate impact.
The survival rate ranged from 58% (Apricot seedling) to 94% (Rootpack R). Considering the trunk cross sectional area, rootstocks Wavit (5.98 cm2) and Fehér besztercei (7.58 cm2) resulted in the weakest growth for all cultivars, followed by Myrobalan 29C (17.28 cm2) and Apricot seedlings (19.56 cm2), while Montclar (20.41 cm2) and Rootpack R (22.8 cm2) produced the strongest trees.
