The experiment was carried out in the experimental orchard in Prislonica near Cacak (Western Serbia) on poor and acidic soil in 2008 and 2009 (second and third year after planting) to determine the effects of Mirobalan rootstock and Blackthorn interstocks with Open vase and Central leader tree conduce system on the length of shoot (LS), trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA), yield (Y), yield efficiency (YE), fruit weight (FW), soluble solids content (SS), titratable acidity (TA) and soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio or ripening index (SS/TA = RI). In the trial there were 5 trees from each apricot rootstock-cultivar and rootstock-interstock-cultivar combination in four replications. The analysis of variance was done in a completely randomized design. The... |
