Siberian C seedling rootstock delayed the bloom of 3 cultivars of peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) as compared to seedling rootstocks Harrow Blood, Lovell, and Halford. Starting about 1 month before bloom, trees on Siberian C developed more slowly than those on other rootstocks as measured by flower bud moisture content. Bloom was delayed 5 days by Siberian C in both 1977 and 1978, with no adverse side effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
