Studies on Performance of Newly Released Apple Cultivar on Clonal Rootstocks | Chapter 05 | Advances in Applied Science and Technology Vol. 5
Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh) occupies a significant place in the horticultural wealth of temperate zone. The growth and productivity of apple in Indian conditions can be optimised by replacing out-dated depleted standard Delicious cultivars by the improved high yielding cultivars and adopting standard clonal rootstocks instead of seedling stock in addition to improved management practices. The present investigation was undertaken to make a preliminary assessment for studying the performance of newly released apple cultivars viz, Lal Ambri, Sunhari, Shireen, Firdous and Akbar on clonal rootstocks M-9 and MM-106. The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of SKUAST-Kashmir, and was laid out in a randomized block design with ten treatment combinations. ...
