Abstract
As part of a wider breeding programme, graft incompatibility in apricots using three cultivars and six rootstocks was studied.
Rootstocks were propagated by taking softwood cuttings of the following six cultivars: the peach rootstocks LESIBERIAN and PS-1, myrobalan MY-KL-A, the apricot rootstock M-LE-1 and two interspecific hybrids, VVA-1 Krymsk®1 (P. tomentosa × P. cerasifera) and AP-1 Krymsk®86 (P. persica × P. cerasifera). Three apricot varieties were then chosen for simultaneous tongue-grafting onto the softwood cuttings of the rootstocks.
These were Velkopavlovická, a type of Hungarian Best which normally has good affinity for its rootstock, Hélène du Roussillon which typically has a bad affinity, as a control, and Harcot.
