Influence of micropropagation on the performance and quality of P 22 rootstock in mother plantation
The performance of P 22 rootstocks propagated either in vitro or by mound layering was tested in the mother plantation during 1987-90. The plants were divided into three classes of thickness (5.0-6.9; 7.0-8.9; 9.0-10.9 mm) and planted at two depths: 17 and 25 cm. Four-years of results proved high qu...

Summary: | The performance of P 22 rootstocks propagated either in vitro or by mound layering was tested in the mother plantation during 1987-90. The plants were divided into three classes of thickness (5.0-6.9; 7.0-8.9; 9.0-10.9 mm) and planted at two depths: 17 and 25 cm. Four-years of results proved high quality of the in vitro propagated P 22 rootstock for mother plantings. The number of rooted plants was two times higher than in the traditional method. They were also better rooted and less thorny than the traditionally propagated ones |
