摘要
In 2002, apple rootstock trials using three scion cultivars were established at Geneva, NY, to evaluate 64 apple (Malus xdomestica Borkh.) rootstocks for horticultural performance and fire blight resistance. Field trials compared several elite Geneva® apple rootstocks, which were bred for tolerance to fire blight and Phytophthora root rot, to both commercial standards and elite rootstock clones from around the world. Three rootstocks performed well with all scion cultivars: 'B.9', 'Geneva® 935', and 'Geneva® 41'. All three rootstocks were similar in size to 'M.9' clones but with elevated yield efficiency and superior resistance to fire blight. 'Geneva® 11' also performed very well with 'Golden Delicious' and 'Honeycrisp' with regard to yield efficiency and disease resistance. Resistant rootstocks greatly enhanced the survival of young trees, particularly with the susceptible scion cultivars 'Gala' and 'Honeycrisp'. Results demonstrate the ability of new rootstock clones to perform better than current commercial standards, reducing financial risk to producers while promoting orchard health with enhanced disease resistance.
