I like to grown some jujube seedlings in my private garden ,so i wish any one to assist me in choosing the suitable rootstock for budding cultivars on.
Dr Ali , I got some interesting work by Dr Bal . The promising rootstocks such as Z. mauritiana and Z. numularia have been recommended for alkaline soils of arid region . Some other promising rootstocks are also recommended to be tested such as Z. mauritiana, Z. jujuba, Z. mistol, Z. oenoplia, Z. numularia, Z. zoaziro, Z. xylopyrus, Z. spina-christi, Z. valgaris, Z. rugosa, Z. lotus, Z. sativa, Z. truncata, Z. incurva, Z. glabrata, Z. mucronata, Z. abyssinica, Z. fumiculosa and Z. oxyphylla. Kindly refer to original work ( DOI: 10.1002/9780470013902.90023718).
Good input Dr. Anoop, There is long list such as Z. mauritiana, Z. jujuba, Z. mistol, Z. oenoplia, Z. numularia, Z. zoaziro, Z. xylopyrus, Z. spina-christi, Z. valgaris, Z. rugosa, Z. lotus, Z. sativa, Z. truncata, Z. incurva, Z. glabrata, Z. mucronata, Z. abyssinica, Z. fumiculosa and Z. oxyphylla. But in India mauritiana is good for arid region.
These root stocks can be tried not only for drought tolerances, but also for several other abiotic stresses such as salinity, soil borne diseaes quality of fruits etc.
