Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of ‘Siberian C’ when used as a rootstock, interstem, or scion on foliar calcium level in peach [ Prunus persica(L.) Batsch]. Data from 2 years of field testing revealed that calcium was significantly reduced in leaf tissue only when ‘Siberian C’ was used as a rootstock. The results suggest that reduced foliar calcium in peach scions propagated on ‘Siberian C’ is due to reduced calcium absorption by roots of ‘Siberian C,’ and not to blockage of calcium transport at the graft union.
