Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Trees on wild apricot (P. armeniaca) rootstocks are the largest in size.
- Intervention effect Trees on prune (P. domestica) rootstock have 10-15% smaller crown volume than wild apricot rootstock trees.
- Intervention effect Trees on bullace (P. insititia) rootstock have the smallest tree size.
- Recommendation Prune and bullace rootstocks are recommended at intensive apricot orchards to reduce tree size.
- Recommendation Compatibility with the cultivars should be tested before prune and bullace rootstocks are applied widely.
- Observation No incompatibility was observed for any cultivar-rootstock combination examined.
- Observation Drought tolerance of the apricot rootstocks examined differed significantly.
- Intervention effect Trees on P. domestica or P. insititia rootstock require more water than trees on P. armeniaca rootstock.
- Recommendation Trees on P. domestica or P. insititia rootstock have to be irrigated.
