| Abstract:
In the autumn of 2001, a trial apple orchard was planted to compare 2 training systems (slender spindle and vertical axis), 8 rootstocks (M.9 T.337, M.9 Burgmer 984, Jork 9, B9, M.26, MM.106, MM.111 and B118) and 8 planting densities (3.6-4.5 x 0.75-1.75 m) with 2 varieties (‘Jonathan Csány 1’ and ‘Sampion’). To aid the proper development of the trees, a trellis system was constructed and also a micro-sprinkler irrigation system installed. The objective of this trial is to select the best new, promising rootstocks -not yet used in Hungary- that best suits the natural conditions of the Northeastern apple growing area of Hungary. We also want to know the influence of the rootstocks and training systems on the performance of the trees. In the first three years after planting, the growth of the cultivars on various rootstocks is presented. | |
