Poster presentation - International peach Symposium (Bucarest, 2017) - Comparison of 11 peach rootstocks : firts results.

Rootstocks choice represents an important part of the techno-economic success of
the future orchard. The ideal rootstock need to satisfy to various conditions, independent of
each other : adaptation to pedoclimatic and soil biology conditions, high level of vigor,
quick enter in production, regularity of production in term of quality and quantity,
compatibility with the cultivar, good aptitude to replantation. The available rootstocks
respond partially to these objectives, however, the strong societal expectations in term of
reduction of inputs (fertilizer and water) need to dispose of more vigorous rootstocks.
The objective of the trial is to identify, among the new tested rootstocks, those that
have an equal or superior vigor than the references. The rootstocks with this particularity
could permit i) a reduction of the inputs (fertilizer and water) in a context of an more
environmental respectful agriculture, ii) a use in a replantation context (resistance to soil
fungus…), iii) a wider adaptation to various type of soil.
The study is led in the frame of the 'cultivars and rootstocks assessment national
chart'. This study is realized by a network that includes four sites localized in the main
peach and nectarine French basin of production.
The trials are conducted with the cultivar CRISTAL ® Monries cov (white flesh
nectarine) and were planted during the winter 2012-2013. Thirteen rootstocks, from various
origins are assessed : Rootpac ® 90 Greenpac, Rootpac ® 70 Purplepac, Rootpac ® 40
Nanopac, Rootpac ® Replantpac, Garnem GN 15, PF 8, ZH 8, Krimsk 86 ® Kuban, P 2175,
Myran ® Yumir and GF 43.
Keywords: P.persica, testing trials, rootstocks performance, network.
