Title: Effect of 'Siberian C' Rootstock, Interstem, and Scion on Foliar Calcium Content in Peach
Authors: D.J. Werner and E. Young
Citation
Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the
effect of 'Siberian C' when used as a rootstock,
interstem, or scion on foliar calcium level in
peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]. Data from 2
years of field testing revealed that calcium was
significantly reduced in leaf tissue only when
'Siberian C' was used as a rootstock.
The results
suggest that reduced foliar calcium in peach
scions propagated on 'Siberian C' is due to
reduced calcium absorption by roots of 'Siberian C' and not to blockage of calcium
transport at the graft union.
