Cuttage of Vitis berlandieri Planch x Vitis rupestris Scheele

Vitis berlandieri Planch x Vitis rupestris Scheele

The hybrid combination Vitis berlandieri x Vitis rupestris was created by breeders to overcome the extremely low rooting ability of cuttings characteristic of the pure Vitis berlandieri species.

In the reference 4 varieties crop Vitis berlandieri Planch x Vitis rupestris Scheele, where this is mentioned in the description.

The original species Vitis berlandieri is characterized by an extremely low ability to root woody cuttings, which limits its direct use in viticulture. Despite its high tolerance to lime, this biological trait hinders mass propagation.

Crossing Vitis berlandieri with Vitis rupestris was aimed at improving the technological qualities of the rootstock. As a result of breeding, hybrids were obtained that combine resistance to soil chlorosis with a higher rooting ability characteristic of the Vitis rupestris species.
