Rootpac®R

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

Plum x almond (Prunus cerasifera x Prunus dulcis) hybrid.

Origin

Agromillora rootstock genetic improvement programme.

Agronomic Characteristics

Vigour

High with varieties of peach, nectarine and plum. Similar to Nemanguard.

Compatibility

Good with varieties of plum, peach and nectarine. It has also proven to be compatible with some varieties of almond and apricot.

Open, with medium ramification.

Yield

Highly productive.

Size

Anticipates ripening by 2 to 5 days depending on the variety. Results in good fruit size in plum, peach and nectarine.

Adaptability

Very adaptable to various climatic conditions, with different cold requirements. Ideal for replanting sites. Adapts well to dense and asphyxiating soils.

Other features

Green leaf rootstock, with appearance between plum and almond tree. Rigid and erect stem in early development stages.

Resistances and tolerances

Cold

Tolerant

Chlorosis

Tolerant or ligtly sensitive. High requirement of microelements

Root-knot nematodes

Highly tolerant

Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Unknown, although it is probably sensitive, like most plums

Rosellinia necatrix

It has been shown to be resistant in sites highly infested with this soil fungus

Root asphyxia

Tolerant to root asphyxia

Salinity

Under study

Root-lesion nematodes

Lightly susceptible

Accumulated production of 5 years*
