The aim of the studies was to determine the compati bility level of
Uie pear eultivars used as framebuilders in Latvia - ’ Saaremaa
Punane 1Limonka', ’Bergainotte d ’Etc', Malnava pear, J.Petrilas
Nr.49; 71; 97 - with the seedlings of quince Nr. 20487.
It was established that bud swelling in spring for most of the
varieties budded on pear rootstocks did start 2 to 4 days earlier than
on quince rootstocks. It was established that tjicre exists a significant
positive correlation between the biochemical and physiological
processes of 2 - year old budded plants (the content of chlorophyll
’a',carotenoides,total amount of pigments, total nitrogen in the one-
year-old shoots) and the initial stage of swelling of the inoculated
pear
buds.Onthe quince rootstocks this correlation was r=0.72;
r=0.78; r=0.70; r=0.92 for the above mentioned factors.
On the other side,there is a significant negative correlation between
the saccharose content in the 1-gear old shoots of 2-year old budded
trees and the start of inoculated bud swelling: r=-0.67 on quince
rootstocks.
The highest compatibility level with quince rootstocks was
established for the Estonian pear cultivar ’Saareaa Punane’.
