MYROBOLAN ROOTSTOCKS



- As Myrobolan B and Myrobolan GF 31 rootstocks form a crown with a large volume, Myrobolan 29-C rootstocks which grow more weakly has gained importance in recent years.
- They are of the same variety as the plums of Cherry group (P. Cerasifera) and are rootstocks most widely used on plums which may be used in different soils including heavy soils.
- Myrobolan 29-C rootstock is of a semi-dwarf character and forms trees up to 70-80% of the Myrobolan seedling rootstock in size.
- It is resistant to root tumorous nematode and sensitive to bacterial cancer and oak root fungus.
- It develops a root system of medium depth.
- Row-top spacing may be applied as 3-3,5 meters and intra-row spacing as 4,5-5 meters on the Myrobolan 29 C clone rootstock.

ROOTPAC – 20

It propagates approximately 40-50% less shoots than GF 677. It adapts well to peaches, nectarines, Japanese plums and almonds. It is resistant to heavy soils and soils with high groundwater. It is moderately resistant to chlorosis and salinity and resistant to root tumorous nematodes. It is a rootstock which is suitable for close planting and mechanisation.

ROOTPAC – R

It is a new generation rootstock compatible with peaches, nectarines, apricots and almonds. It forms large fruits. It provides moderate branching. It adapts well to heavy soils and to asphyxia conditions. It is resistant to root tumorous nematodes. It provides early ripening between 2 and 5 days as compared to other rootstocks. It is a rootstock with more positive aspects in production.
