Behavior of apple trees on Geneva series rootstocks on land replanted after the orchard

Abstract

The investigations were carried out in the apple plantation of "Viorix-Agro" Ltd., in the spring of 2022. The trees, planted at a distance of 3.5x0.8 m and trained after the crown vertical axis, were grafted on rootstocks M9, G11 and G41 for Gala Nikangie cultivar and on rootstock G11 for Fuji King Grofn cultivar. The results showed that in order to obtain early apple yields and to maintain a rational relationship between vegetative macrostructure and yield microstructure, as well as to prevent soil fatigue in replanted land, it is recommended to use the vegetative rootstocks G11 and G41 in association with the perspective varieties.
