Comparisons of Four Mango Rootstocks and Their Effect on Naomi Transplantings Growth and Nutritional Status مقارنة اربعة أصول من المانجو وتأثیرهم علی نمو صنف ناعومى والحالة الغذائیة

Abstract

This work was carried out in four mango rootstocks namely Socaria, Gomera3, Sabre and Hybrid 13/1 during 2014and 2015 seasons to compare its vegetative growth behavior weather it grafted or ungrafted by Naomi mango Var. as a scion. All the obtained results referred that Socaria rootstock gave the highest values off all studied parameters so it is consider a vigorous rootstock , whereas the Hybrid 13/1 rootstock gave the lowest values and this will its dwarfing effect on Naomi scion so this will be useful in high density orchard systems .Other studied rootstocks were intermediate between Socaria and Hybrid13/1 rootstocks.
