- Intervention effect M XVI rootstocks retarded flowering.
- Intervention effect Malus sikkimensis rootstocks reduced growth and retarded flowering.
- Intervention effect M. hypehensis rootstocks reduced growth and retarded flowering.
- Association Rootstock vigor and precocity were independent properties.

- Intervention effect Grafting or budding retarded growth of M IX seedlings under optimal conditions.
