    Evaluation of some introduced rootstocks for peach, plum and apricot
    (YSPU, 2013) Nagi, Manpreet; Krishan Kumar
    The present investigations entitled “Evaluation of some introduced rootstocks for peach, plum and apricot” were conducted in Department of Fruit Science, Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan. Eight exotic Prunusrootstocks (Cadaman, Citation, GF 31, GF 677, Ishtara, Manicot, Montclar and Rubira) along with two local seedling rootstocks viz., Wild Apricot and Wild Peach were assessed for their ability to propagate by conventional vegetative methods, their graft success with commercial scion cultivars and their tolerance to drought and cold stress conditions. Exotic rootstocks namely Montclar (39.9 %) and Rubira (25.8 %) were more amenable to propagation through IBA treated hardwood cuttings than Ishtara (13.6 %), GF 31(13.4 %), Citation (8.6 %) and Wild Peach (10.8 %). As many as three rootstocks Manicot, Cadaman and Wild Apricot did not respond to multiplication through hardwood cuttings. These rootstocks followed similar trend on propagation through softwood cuttings except the fact that the success rate was relatively lower than that achieved through hardwood cuttings. Overall, IBA treatment of 2000 ppm and 1000 ppm was found to result in maximum rooting in Montclar through hardwood (39.9 %) and softwood (26.6 %) cuttings, respectively. The success of multiplication throughstooling varied from very good (Rubira, Manicot, GF 31), good (Citation, GF 677) and low to very low in Wild Peach and Wild Apricot. Three rootstocks Montclar, Ishtara and Cadaman did not record any success in propagation through stooling. Maximum success was recorded in Rubira with nectarine cv. Snow Queen (50.0 %); in Manicot with apricot cv. Ema (43.3 %) and plum cv. Santa Rosa (50.0 %); in Montclar with plum cv. Red Beaut (43.3 %) and peach cv. July Elberta (43.3 %); in Ishtara with peach cv. July Elberta (60.0 %) and nectarine cv. Mayfire (50.0 %); in GF 31 with apricot cv. Ema (23.3 %), nectarine cv. Mayfire (40.0 %) and plum cv. Frontier (46.6 %); in Citation with peach cv. July Elberta (46.6 %); in GF 677 with plum cv. Santa Rosa (53.3 %); in Wild Peach with nectarine cv. Mayfire (53.3 %) and in Wild Apricot with apricot cv. NewCastle (43.3 %) and plum cv. Red Beaut (43.3 %). Exotic clonal rootstocks, on the whole, showed better graft success with scion cultivars than local seedlingrootstocks. Rootstocks namely Manicot, Montclar, Ishtara, Citation and Wild Apricot were observed as more drought tolerant than Rubira, GF 31, GF 677 and Wild Peach, whereas Manicot, GF 31, Ishtara and Cadaman were found to be more cold hardy than Rubira, Montclar,GF 677 and Citation.
