Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Tree survival after five years was 79% on Rootpac-40 rootstock.
- Observation The remaining rootstocks showed no tree mortality.
- Association Rootstock genotype influenced tree vigour and canopy height and width from the year of planting in 2016.
- Observation Rootpac-70 consistently produced the largest trees by truck cross-sectional area in the first five years of production.
- Intervention effect By year five, Rootpac-70 trees were 38% larger in truck cross-sectional area than Bailey.
- Observation By year five, all rootstocks except Rootpac-70 produced trees with similar truck cross-sectional area.
- Intervention effect Cumulative yield of Rootpac-R was 98% that of Bailey.
- Intervention effect Cumulative yield of Rootpac-20 was 89% that of Bailey.
- Intervention effect Cumulative yield of Rootpac-30 was 84% that of Bailey.
- Association Cumulative yield efficiency was significantly influenced by rootstock, with small differences.
- Observation Rootpac-40 consistently produced the largest fruit.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the Rootpac rootstocks are likely to impart excessive vigour in a higher density system and offer little advantage over Bailey.
