NEW CLONAL ROOTSTOCKS FOR PLUMS ON THE BASIS OF P. DOMESTICA L.,P.CERASIFERA EHRH. AND P.INSITITIA L.

The clones with high ability of root formation on one-year-old shoots which arose from stoolbeds of mother plants have been singled out at the Faculty of Agriculture in Sarajevo.
The original material was produced from seed collected from a wider area of central and north Bosnia.

Selections obtained from indigenous cultivars belonging to P. domestica L. have a high zone of rooting ability of shoots, that is they form a root along the whole mounded part of shoot.
The root is compact with long and strong primary roots.
Rooting ability index of this selection ranged from 1,05 to 2,91.

Rootstock selections developed from P. cerasifera Ehrh. also have high rooting ability zone of shoots but smaller number of formed roots, so that the rooting system has dispersed form.
Rooting ability index of shoots ranging from 1,26 to 2,13 is satisfactory.

Selections on the basis of P. insititia L. have somewhat weaker rooting ability on the mounded parts of the shoot than P. domestica L. and P. cerasifera Ehrh This selections have rooting ability index 0,88 and 1,67.
