Observational analysis highlighted nutrient uptake disparities among three peach rootstocks, suggesting improved fertilization strategies.

Trees on 'Guardian ® ' rootstock had significantly higher nutrient concentrations compared to 'MP-29'.
Nutrient removal through harvested fruits was lowest in peach trees grafted on 'MP-29', indicating inefficiency.
Analysis of leaf, fruitlet, fruit, and pruned wood tissues was conducted over two years in South Carolina.
These findings support the need for careful rootstock selection to enhance nutrient management and minimize environmental impact.

Bien-Aime et al. (2025) studied this question.
