T. Visser Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 1973. doi:10.21273/jashs.98.1.26
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect M IX rootstocks hastened flowering of apple seedlings.
- Intervention effect M XVI rootstocks retarded flowering.
- Intervention effect M. hypehensis rootstocks reduced growth and retarded flowering.
- Association Rootstock vigor and precocity were independent properties.
- Observation On their own roots under optimal growth conditions, seedlings could flower as soon as on M IX.
- Intervention effect Grafting or budding retarded growth of M IX seedlings under optimal conditions.
- Recommendation The authors find little advantage to M IX rootstock for shortening apple juvenility unless orchard space is limited.
