Evaluation of apple rootstocks planted in different locations in South Africa

Low-chilling apple genotypes have become a viable alternative for cultivation in regions with moderate to mild winters due to concerns about the impact of global climate change. Although the cultivation of low-chilling apples has been known since the last century, there is little research on their propagation and cultural operations, which creates an urgent need for structured information collection. This work presents a comprehensive review of agrotechnological practices aimed at successfully cultivating low-chilling apple cultivars in nontraditional, warmer regions in order to regulate apple prices in local markets and reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation. By providing comprehensive insights into various agro-technological practices and recent advances in low-chilling apple cultivation, this review can serve as a valuable resource for researchers, growers, and practitioners interested in the successful cultivation of apples in nontraditional areas throughout the globe.
