Geneva 213
A new rootstock for a sustainable and efficient apple orchard
The Cornell University and the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) together develop new rootstock cultivars with an emphasis on productivity, yield efficiency, easy nursery propagation, Fire blight, Woolly apple aphid and Crown rot resistances, tolerance to extreme temperatures, soil pathogens and apple replant disease. Among these, one of the new releases is the rootstock GENEVA®G.213

Tree vigor
Tree size affected by traditional and new rootstocks, including different releases from Plant Genetic Resources Unit, Cornell University, Geneva & USDA Agricultural Research Unit (New York-U.S.A.). Source: G. Fazio. Personal com., FEM (San Michele – Italy), September 2018.
Agronomical Performance
Different reports from Brazil in apple producing areas with limited availability of chilling hours, evidenced the good yield, high yield efficiency and precocity induced by G®213 on different apple cultivars.
Annual and cumulative yields of five years and differences on cumulative yield of the two rootstocks of ‘Maxi Gala’ and ‘Fuji Suprema’ cultivars grafted on G®G.213 and M.9 rootstocks and planted in 2015 in Vacaria, RS, Brazil.
