“…The absence of differences in flesh firmness and soluble solids in two of the evaluated seasons supports the findings of SANDER et al (2019), who found no difference in either firmness or soluble solids by evaluating different apple tree training systems, as well as MACEDO et al (2019 and DALLABETTA et al (2017) evaluating the effect of light intensity on the Slender Spindle and Bi-Axis training systems, did not verify differences in flesh firmness. However, sweeter fruits were observed when they were picked in the most apical part in comparison to the basal part of the tree, but with no differences when positioned at the internal and external part at the same level horizontally in the canopy.…”

“…The most used rootstocks in apple-growing regions are combinations of 'Marubakaido' (Maruba) and 'M.9' as interstem (Maruba/M.9) and Maruba in regions of high altitude, Ciência Rural, v.52, n.10, 2022. Rufato et al characterized by shallow and stony soils (MACEDO et al, 2019) and 'M.9' in flat areas with deep soils. These rootstocks have several disadvantages, such as low yield efficiency, presence of burr knots, high formation of rootstock suckers and high labor costs when using Maruba, whereas 'M.9' has poor root development, low adaptability to shallow soils and it is sensitive to "replanting diseases", to woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) and to crown gall disease (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) (REIG et al, 2019;DENARDI et al, 2015).…”

The use of new rootstocks combined with different training systems have been studied to increase productivity, fruit quality, and reduce costs. Another important factor is the validation of studies under replanting conditions, due to the growing limitation of new areas for planting commercial apple orchards in Brazil. The present study aimed to evaluate the behavior of ‘Fuji Suprema’ and ‘Maxi Gala’ apple trees in two training systems grafted on two rootstocks. The study occurred during the seasons 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19, in an orchard located in southern Brazil in an area previously cultivated with apple trees. A randomized block design consisting of a 2x2 factorial was used, with Tall Spindle and Bi-Axis as the training system and ‘M.9’ and ‘G.213’ as rootstocks of Fuji Suprema and Maxi Gala cultivars. Variables were evaluated to determine tree vigor, as well as yield and fruit quality characteristics. It was observed that ‘G.213’ promoted higher vigor for both cultivars as well as the Bi-Axis training system in the Maxi Gala cultivar. The highest yield was observed in Tall Spindle as well as the rootstock ‘G.213’ in both cultivars. The most significant changes on fruit quality occurred in the Bi-Axis training system, presenting higher intensity of red color as well as ‘Maxi Gala’ grafted on ‘G.213’ rootstock.

“…• TCSA increase (cm 2 ): the average increase in TCSA was obtained by calculating the average of the differences between subsequent years. • Canopy volume (m 3 ): obtained by measuring L = length, H = height from first branch insertion point to apex, W = width, and using equation (L × H × W) (Macedo et al, 2019). • Number of branches: it was obtained by counting all the branches larger than 10 cm spreading out from the central leader.…”

Geneva® rootstocks in Brazil are known to be efficient in controlling vigor, and are precocious and resistant to diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of apple tree cultivars grafted on the Geneva® rootstocks in severe replant disease areas, by planting 60 days after the eradication. The experiments were implemented in 2017, in São Joaquim and Vacaria. The Gala Select and Fuji Suprema cultivars were grafted onto ‘G.202’, ‘G.814’, ‘G.210’, and ‘G.213’ rootstocks in the Tall Spindle training system. In 2018/2019, total thinning was carried out to promote plant growth. In São Joaquim, partial thinning was carried out in 2019/2020 harvest of ‘Gala Select’. The rootstocks were divided into two groups based on vigor, for both areas and cultivars. ‘G.202’ and ‘G.213’ were 40% less vigorous than ‘G.210’ and ‘G.814’. For ‘Gala Select’, the extreme non-fallow condition mainly affected the vigor and productivity of ‘G.213’ in both areas. At the end of two harvests, ‘G.213’ was 17% less productive than ‘G.210’, contrary to what is observed in areas where the fallow period is respected. However, ‘G.213’ confirmed a greater yield efficiency, which was 27% higher than ‘G.210’. This suggests that a perspective of forecasting production for the third crop is higher for ‘G.213’ than for ‘G.210’. In the case of ‘Fuji Suprema’, the G.210 rootstock was the most productive in both areas. In São Joaquim, ‘G.202’ matched ‘G.210’ in productivity and efficiency as it sprouts better in colder regions. Considering the fruit quality, ‘G.213’ anticipated the maturation with fruits of larger size and higher total soluble solids (TSS) in both areas and cultivars, making it possible to anticipate the harvest. It was concluded that the non-fallow condition does not alter the relative differences in vigor and fruit quality among the rootstocks. However, notwithstanding the overall replant tolerance of these rootstocks, it does reduce productivity by mainly affecting less vigorous rootstocks that need about three crops to overcome the allelopathic effects of the soil and start growing normally. The G.210 semi-dwarfing rootstock is an alternative for the immediate conversion of apple orchards of Gala Select and Fuji Suprema cultivars in southern Brazil.
