Abstract
The randomized complete-block design was a split plot with main plots being the 50 scion/ rootstock combinations (single-plant plots), replicated in 20 blocks and with year as subplots. For analysis of variance, sucker count data were transformed into the square root of the number of suckers plus 0.5 (Gomez and Gomez, 1984). Mean separation of scion treatment means was performed with a cluster analysis technique (Gates and Bilbro, 1978). A peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] scion cultivar that enhanced rootstock suckering might be useful for revealing the suckering tendencies of test rootstocks. This paper reports the scion genotype influence on suckering by Nemaguard rootstock. Forty-nine scion cultivars were budded in 1986 by a commercial nursery onto openpollinated Nemaguard seedlings.
