A versatile drought tolerant production rootstock

High Vigor

Advantages:

• Phylloxera resistant
• High drought tolerance
• Adaptable to many soils
• Moderate resistance to root knot nematode

Limitations:

• Not as tolerant to wet soil conditions as previously considered

Successful Programs:

• Irrigated hillside with shallow soil
• Production/split canopy programs in low to moderate vigor sites
• Table grape production

Should be tried and tested for:

• Alkali soils
• Dry farmed sites

There are better alternatives for:

• High density programs in vigorous sites
