The study was performed in Barshin Research Station- General
Commission for Scientific Agriculture Research on the trees age of
13 in grafted with Golden Delicious Cultivar on three rootstocks
(seedless rootstock Malus domestica, vegetative strong
rootstock
MM109, and MM111 half strong rootstock) over the years
(2014.2015 ).The study focused on growth vigor (the stem
circumference above the grafted area ,crown size - the rate of
shoots length and productivity).
The compatibility between the varieties and the
percentage of budding success and the vigor and vegetative growth of these
varieties were studied. The plants growth was monitored and all the required
readings were taken from the beginning of buddi
ng at the end of summer until
