0 a stem to which part of another plant is joined so that both parts can grow together and get an advantage from a good feature of the stem
Once clones are evaluated on a standard rootstock, it would be wise to use this rootstock for commercial plantings.
Differences in geography, cultivars, rootstocks, soils, microclimate and growers' personal preferences determine the production practices and materials used in organic apple orchard management.
Mycorrhizal plants of these rootstocks were more resistant than non-mycorrhizal ones after five days of drought.
Regional assessments of rootstock performance are already known to be important.
The pot-medium water content in mycorrhizal un-irrigated plants of these rootstocks was 0.185 and 0.216 cm3 cm-3 respectively.
Given the well-established relationship between vigour and yield in cocoa, the desired rootstock influence is a positive change in 'yield efficiency'.
There was no indication of an interaction between rootstock and scion for any of the traits that were studied.
The yields showed no evidence of a major effect of rootstock or interaction with scion in this trial.
