The aim was to evaluate the performance of various apple rootstocks on ‘Honeycrisp’ apples over eight years.
Established trial at 12 locations across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Analyzed multiple rootstocks including Budagovsky, Cornell-Geneva, Pillnitz, and Malling.
Measured cumulative yield efficiency and projected yields per hectare.
Highest mortality rates observed in trees on CG.3001 (31%) and CG.4814 (24%).
Most yield efficient trees belonged to moderate semi-dwarf category with CG.4004.
Projected cumulative yields varied among rootstocks, influencing choice for future apple cultivation.
