Response of Apple Cultivars to Graft Take Success on Apple Rootstock
Abstract
An experiment entitled "Response of apple cultivars to graft take success on apple rootstocks" was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (North), Mingora Swat, Pakistan in 2012. Scion wood of five apple cultivars (Royal gala, Mondial gala, Treco gala, Gala must and Spartan) were bench grafted on rootstocks MM-111, 106, M-9,26 and Crabapple. Increase in graft take success (91.10%), plant height (107.97 cm), scion diameter (9.38 mm), number of leaves plant-1 (116.57) were noted in cultivar Gala must with rootstock Crab apple. Since Crab apple rootstock and cultivar Gala must interaction showed significant result among most of the parameters observed hence for increased graft take success and resultant growth Cultivar Gala must with rootstock Crab apple recommended.
