Abstract

The study was undertaken to make a preliminary assessment for productivity and quality of new apple cultivars viz, Lal Ambri, Sunhari, Shireen, Firdous and Akbar on two M-9 and MM-106 clonal rootstocks respectively. The investigations were carried out at the Experimental Farm of SKUAST-Kashmir. An experiment was laid out in a randomised block design with ten treatment combinations. The results obtained revealed that the varieties raised on MM-106 rootstock resulted in higher plant height, per cent fruit set and fruit retention. And the plants which were raised on M-9 rootstock resulted in more plant girth, more spread, early fruit maturity, higher fruit weight and firmness. Among these tested varieties, Shireen performed better on M-9 rootstock as compared to other varieties.
