| Title : | THE QUALITY OF SEEDLINGS OF DIFFERENT CULTIVARS AND ROOTSTOCKS OF APPLE PRODUCED BY THE “KNIP” METHOD |
| Abstract : | In Kosovo, apple seedlings production material has until recently been mainly derived from one traditional source – one-year seedling material. Recently, with the intensification of fruit tree production, demand for other types of production material has increased. There is increased interest in the technology and techniques of seedling production using the KNIP method. For this reason, we conducted a field research trial at the experimental didactic farm of the Faculty of Agriculture in Prishtina. The research materials consisted of two apple cultivars: Golden Delicious Clone B and Red Delicious, grafted with English grafting rootstocks M9 and MM106. For the experimental trials we used a randomised complete block design with replication. The research included 10 seedlings for each treatment of cultivar and rootstock. In such seedlings were investigated vegetative parameters of seedlings development: height of seedlings, length of the upper branches, trunk diameter, number of lateral branches, total length of lateral branches and branch angles. The obtained results were analysed using ANOVA and LSD tests, while the significances of the observed differences were determined at P0.05 and P0.01 probability levels using MINITAB-16© software. The results obtained from our research were highly significant among different treatments, cultivars and rootstocks. |
