A versatile drought tolerant production rootstock
Highest Vigor
Advantages:
- Phylloxera resistant
- High drought tolerance
- Adaptable to many soils
- Good choice for Alkalinity and Low pH soils
Limitations:
- Poor nematode resistance
- May be too vigorous for many applications
Successful Programs:
- Irrigated hillside with shallow soils sites
- Production /split canopy programs in low to moderate vigor sites
Should be tried and tested for:
- Nematode Resistance
- Deficit Irrigation Programs
There are better alternatives for:
- High density programs in vigorous sites
- Nematode infested soils
