Rootpac®40

The series of Rootpac patterns comes from the programme for obtaining new Prunus rootstocks developed between 1996 and 2012.

The search for these patterns focused on responding to the needs of a fruit sector in constant evolution and development towards the efficiency and intensification of plantations.

General information

Species

Hybrid of peach tree x almond (Prunus dulcis x Prunus persica) x (Prunus dulcis x Prunus persica).

Origin

Agromillora rootstock genetic improvement programme.

Agronomic Characteristics

Vigour

Medium, around 25–30% less than GF–677, although with a well-developed root system.

Compatibility

Good with varieties of peach, nectarine, almond and some varieties of Japanese plum.

Structure

Erect, similar to Garnem.

Yield

Highly productive.

Size

Anticipates ripening by 3 to 7 days depending on the variety. Produces good-size fruit.

Adaptability

It adapts very well to all climates, but especially to warm conditions (low chilling area).

Other features

Green leaf rootstock. Rigid stems (early lignification) with little or no branching in early development stages. Easy handling in nursery.

Resistances and tolerances

Chlorosis

Moderately tolerant. High requirement of microelements

Root-knot nematodes

Moderately tolerant

Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Sensitive

Rosellinia necatrix

Under study

Root asphyxia

Similar tolerance to root asphyxia as the most peach and almond tree hybrids.

Salinity

Moderately tolerant

Root-lesion nematodes

Susceptible

Armillaria mellea

Sensittive
