Abstract

The South African apple industry is in need of an improved range of rootstocks which are adaptable to local conditions and which can replace the standards M.793, MM.109 and M.7. Promising results have been obtained with some of the Cornell Geneva rootstocks regarding growth control and yield efficiency in a field trial established in 2000. When tree performance over the first five cropping years is considered, most Cornell Geneva rootstocks tested were more yield efficient than the current standards, the best performing rootstocks being CG.222 (M.9 vigour class), CG.189 (M.7 vigour class), CG.007 (in the M.793 vigour class) and CG.778 (MM.109 vigour class).
