Implication

Randomized trial evaluates fruit quality and nutrient concentrations in cherry crops by rootstock and cultivar, suggesting optimal management strategies.

Key Points

The aim is to assess how different rootstocks and cultivars affect cherry fruit quality and nutrient concentration in leaves.
Conducted in commercial orchards of sweet cherry cultivars: 'Sweet Aryana', 'Santina', 'Regina',
Evaluated three rootstocks: sour cherry, 'Gisela 6', 'Maxma 14',
Measured fruit firmness, size, weight, and nutrient concentrations in leaves.
'Regina' fruit weight was 13.8% higher with 'Maxma 14'.
'Sweet Aryana' had higher concentrations of N (2.7%) and Cu (9.5 mg kg -1 ) with 'Gisela 6'.
'Santina' showed highest K concentrations (3.33%) when grafted onto sour cherry.
