DETERMINATION OF BUD TAKE RATES AT DIFFERENT GRAFTING PERIODS OF APRICOT SCIONS GRAFTED ONTO VARIOUS ROOTSTOCKS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE KHOREZM REGION

Abstract

Abstract.
This  article  investigates  the  field  bud  take  rates  of  apricot  scions  grafted  onto  various 
rootstocks—wild  apricot,  Myrobalan  29,  Myrobalan  29C,  Best,  and  Druzhba—at  different  grafting 
periods. During the study, the relationship between bud take rates and air temperature, as one of the 
major environmental factors, was scientifically analyzed.
According to the results, Myrobalan 29C and Myrobalan 29 demonstrated higher bud take 
rates, while wild apricot and Druzhba rootstocks were distinguished by their slower development and 
high  environmental  adaptability.  The  Best  rootstock  exhibited  moderate  and  balanced  growth 
characteristics.
The findings of this study are of significant  scientific and practical importance for selecting 
suitable rootstocks adapted to the regional climatic conditions.
