Abstract

The rootstock in apple tree controls characteristics such  as vigor, precocity, nutrient transport efficiency, fruit  size and quality of the grafted cultivar. Currently, there  are new rootstocks with potential to be used in México,  but their behavior is unknown; therefore, the objectives  of this paper were to know the vigor, yield efficiency  and the concentration of N, P and K in leaves and fruits.  The plantation was established in 2003 at La Capilla de  los Remedios, Chihuahua, in order to evaluate 11 apple  rootstocks of different origins, PiAu 56-83, PiAu 51-4,  EMLA.26, G.935, G.41, G.16, B.10, J-TE-H, PAJAM2,  M.9T337 and B.9, grafted with the Golden Delicious  variety. The results obtained indicate that the rootstocks  with the best yield efficiency were the most dwarfed such  as M.9T337, G.41, J-TE-H, G.935 and G.16. The most  vigorous rootstocks were PiAu 56-83 and PiAu 51-4. The  G.16 rootstock showed high concentration of N, P and K in  leaf and fruit, whereas M.9T337 showed high concentration  of N in leaf. The rootstocks PiAu 56-83 and PiAu-51-4  showed high concentration of K in leaf.
