Peach rootstock

Prunus persica (L.) Batsch

Rootstock for peach must ensure high aeration of the root system due to the crop's sensitivity to waterlogging and hypoxia. Choosing the right rootstock is critical for adaptation to calcareous soils, controlling tree vigor, and preventing graft incompatibility.

In the reference 121 varieties crop Peach, where this is mentioned in the description.

Peach is characterized by extremely high sensitivity to soil conditions and requires well-aerated substrates, as it tolerates water stagnation poorly. Seedling rootstocks, including peach, almond, and wild apricot seedlings, are used based on their ability to withstand specific soil types; however, they often limit the possibilities for intensive orcharding.

Clonal rootstocks are the primary tool for controlling tree vigor and the onset of bearing in high-density planting schemes. Furthermore, specialized rootstocks allow for overcoming specific problems such as high soil carbonate content, which causes chlorosis, or soil fatigue, which hinders the establishment of orchards on old sites.

When selecting a rootstock for this crop, it is important to consider the risk of incompatibility, which manifests as point necrosis or weak tissue union. The use of adapted hybrid forms allows for achieving better resistance to abiotic stresses and pathogens than when using seed-derived rootstocks.
