The behaviour of some apricot varieties grafted on generative rootstocks at S.C. Olma S.R.L. com. Baltati, jud. Iasi

Abstract

Production of new planting material for apricot is difficult because in Romania we don't have valuable vegetative rootstocks to ensure easy propagation and to allow establishment of intensive and superintensive orchards. In this specific segment of nursery generative rootstocks are used obtained from the seeds of Prunus cerasifera, apricot or even almond. Thanks to this element, we can set up intensive orchards, being necessary a relatively large space for spatial formation and development of the tree crown
