This document summarizes the use of rootstocks in fruit crops and their effects. It discusses how rootstocks can influence traits like growth habit, flowering, fruiting, yield, quality, nutrient status, disease resistance, and environmental stress tolerance in the scion cultivar. Commonly used rootstocks are described for tropical fruits like mango, citrus, guava, and grape and for temperate fruits like apple, pear, peach, cherry, and walnut. Key rootstock characteristics and their suitability for different scion cultivars are highlighted.
Guava is an important fruit crop in tropical and subtropical regions of the country due to the hardy nature of its tree and prolific bearing even in marginal lands.
The Meadow Orchard is a modern method of fruit cultivation.
Recently, there is a trend to plant fruit trees at closer spacing leading to high density or meadow orchard. Higher and quality production is achieved from densely planted orchards through judicious canopy management and adoption of suitable tree training systems.

Rootstock scion and Interstock Relationship Selection of Elite Mother Plants
Rootstock-scion relationship refers to the compatibility and interaction between the rootstock (the lower portion of the grafted plant, typically consisting of roots and a stem) and the scion (the upper portion of the grafted plant, which determines fruit characteristics and growth habits). Selecting elite mother plants involves evaluating how well a particular scion variety performs when grafted onto different rootstocks. Factors such as graft compatibility, vigor, disease resistance, and fruit quality are considered to ensure optimal performance in the field.

Citrus Fruit Cultivation in India – Production Area, Climate, Harvesting and Fruit Handling!
Citrus comprises many species of economic importance. In India few species are commercially cultivated, which include grape fruit, lemons, limes, sweet oranges, and mandarins.
Kinnow a hybrid between King mandarin x Willow leaf orange produced by H.B. Frost in 1915 and released in 1935 was introduced by Dr. J.C. Bakhshi at Abohar research station during 1954.
This is being cultivated throughout North India and even in other citrus growing states. The cultivation of citrus fruits has taken a boost due to the entrance of some private companies, who are providing their own plant material.
It is a matter of time that will prove whether the new orange cultivars are a failure or success. If, this venture is successful then monoculture of Kinnow in this region shall be restricted. Efforts are also on to improve the technical knowhow for Blood Red and Nagpuri mandarin. Grape fruits are also being planted to meet the requirement of citrus fruits for sugar patients.
Origin:
Citrus originated in South East Asia. North East region of India is the home of some citrus species e.g. mandarins. Nagpur Sangtra is grown on a large scale in the Vidharbha region of central India. Similarly in Assam, Brahmaputra Valley and Dibrugarh district are famous for mandarin production. Khasi mandarin is an important cultivar of Nilgiri hills. After mandarins, limes and lemons are also cultivated throughout India.
In India citrus is cultivated over an area of near about 923.2 thousand hectares with an estimated production of 8607.7 thousand metric tonnes. In Punjab citrus occupies 39.198 hectares with annual production of 734699 MT. Kinnow occupies 54.9% of the area under citrus.
Botany:
Genus citrus belongs to family Rutaceae and sub-family Aurantioedae. While classifying citrus. Swingle has been considered to be a lumper (with 16 species only) and his student Tanaka a spliter (157 species). Hodgson (1967) classified citrus in to 36 species of commercial importance. This classification is the most accepted one.
Hybridization in citrus has led to produce a large number of inter-generic and inter-specific hybrids. Most of them are used as potential rootstocks. For example, citranges (trifoliate orange X sweet orange), citrumelo (trifoliate orange X grape fruit), citrandarin (trifoliate orange X mandarin) and limequats (kumquat X West Indian lime). One of the parents trifoliate orange was choosen for its cold hardiness and dwarfing character as a rootstock.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

LECTURE 2. USE OF ROOTSTOCK IN FRUIT CROPS
A grafted or budded plant can produce usual patterns which may be different
from what would have occupied if each component part of graft age viz. root stock
and scion were grown separately or when it is grafted or budded in other types of
rootstock. Some of these have major horticulture valve. This very inspect of
rootstock in the performance of a scion cultivator or vice versa is known as stock
scion relationships.
A) Effect of Stock on Scion Cultivar:
1. Size and Growth Habit:
In apple, rootstock can be classified as dwarf, semi dwarf vigorous and very
vigorous rootstock based on their effect on a scion cultivator. If a scion is grafted
on dwarf rootstock the graft combination will be dwarf while he same cultivar
grafted on very rootstock would grow very vigorously. In citrus, trifoliate oranges.
On the other hands, in mango all plants of a given variety are known to have the
same characteristic canopy shape of the variety despite the rootstocks being of
seedling origin. But recently, rootstock of kakarady, olour have been found to
impart dwarfness in the scion cultivators. Guava cultivars grafted on psidium
puminum are found to be dwarf in statue.
2. Precocity in Flowering and Fruiting:
The time taken from plating to fruiting precocity is influenced by rootstocks.
Generally fruiting is influenced by rootstocks. Generally fruiting precocity is
associated with dwarfing rootstocks and slowness to start fruiting with vigorous
2. rootstocks. Mandarins, when grafted on Jamberi rootstock are precious than those
grafted on sweet orange or sour orange or acid lime rootstock.
3. Fruit Set and Yield:
The rootstock directly influence on the production of flowers and setting
fruit in oriental persimmon ( diospyrous kakii cv. Hichiya ). When it is grafted on
D. Lotus, It produce more flowers but few only mature but when D. Kakii is used
as the rootstock, the set is more.
The influenced of rootstock on the yield performance or cultivar has been
well documented in many fruit crops. Acid limes budded on rough lemon register
nearly 70 percent increased yield than those budded on troyer citrange, Rampur
lime or its own rootstock. Sweet orange var. sathgudi budded on kichili rootstock r
gave higher yield than on Jamberi or on its own seeding (South India).
4. Fruit Size and Quality:
Sathgudi sweet oranges grafted on gajanimma rootstock produced large but
poor quality fruit, while on its own roots they produced fruit with high juice
content and quality. The physiological disorder ‘granulation’ in sweet orange is
very low of grafted on Cleopatra mandarin seedling, on their hand rough lemon
seedling, stocks induced maximum granulation. The physiological disorder ‘black
end ‘in Barlett Pear did not appear if Pyrus Communis was used as the rootstock
Even P. pyrisfolia was used as the rootstock. This disorder appeared, affecting fruit
quality.
5. Nutrient Status of Scion: Rootstocks do influence the nutrient status of scion
also. Sathgudi sweet oranges trees have a better nutrient in the leaves when on it’s
3. budded on C. volkarminriana rootstock than on its own rootstock or Cleopatra
mandarin stocks.
6. Winter Hardiness:
Young grape fruit tree on Rangpur lime withstand winter injury better than
on rough lemon or sour orange. Sweet orange and Mandarins on trifoliate were
more cold hardy.
7. Diseases Resistance:
In citrus considerable variability exists among the rootstock in their response
to diseases and nematodes. For instance rough lemon rootstock is tolerate to
tristeza, xyloporosis and exocoritia is tolerant to gummosis but susceptible to
exocorita virus disease. Similarly, guava varieties grafted on chinse Guava, resist
wilt diseases and nematodes.
8. Ability to Resist Soil Adverse Conditions:
Among the citrus rootstocks trifoliate orange exhibits poor ability to resist
excess soil moisture or excess boron in the soil. Myroblan plum rootstock
generally viz, peach, appreciator almond.
B) Effect of Scion on Root Stock:
1. Effect on Root System of Stock:
In apple it has been found that if apple seedling were budded with the “Red
Astrochan “apple the rootstock produced a very fibrous root system with few top
roots. On the other hand, if scion cultivar is less vigorous than the rootstock
cultivar the rate growth and the dry ultimate size of the tree is more determinate by
the scion rather the rootstock.
4. 2. Cold Hardiness of the Rootstock:
Cold hardiness of citrus roots is affected by the scion cultivar. Sour orange
seedling budded to ‘Eureka ‘lemon suffered much more from winter injury than
the unbudded seedlings.
3. Age of Root Stock Seedling:
Young mango rootstock seedling (6 month to one year old ) were found to
put forth inflorescence when the branches from old trees are inarched which will
be attributed to the influence of scion on the rootstock.
I) Incompatibility:
Certain rootstock and scions are incompatible; therefore, the graft union
between these two will not normally take place.
2. Kind of Plant:
Some species like oats are difficult to graft but apple and pears are very easy
in predicting a successful graft union.
3. Environmental Factor During and Following Grafting:
There are certain environmental requirements which must be met for callus
tissue to develop and heal the graft union.
• Temperature has a pronounced effect on the production of callus
tissues. An optimum temperature is essential for the production of
callus tissue. In most of the temperature fruit crops callus production
is retarded after 100 0 F.
5. • Relative humidity must be high or maintaining a film of water against
the callusing surface is essential to prevent these delicate thin walled
parenchymatous calls from drying.
• Presence of high Oxygen content near this surface is essential.
4. Growth Activity of Stock Plants:
Some propagation methods such as “T “ budding and bark grafting depend
upon the bark grafting depend upon the bark ‘slipping’ which means the cambium
cells activity dividing and producing young thin walled cells on the side of the
cambium. These newly formed cells separating readily from one another as the
bark slips.
5. Propagation Techniques:
Sometimes the technique used in grafting is so poor that only a small portion
of the causal regions of the stock and scion are brought together. This
measurement in its failure of the graft union.
A. Rootstock for Tropical and Sub-tropical Fruits
1. Mango:
Most of the Indian varieties are monoembryonic but some varieties from
South India are polyembryonic, namely, Olour, Bappakai, Muvandan,
Chandrakaran, Mylepelian, Kitchner, Nekkare, Prior, Vellaikulumban,
Peach, Starch and Kurukan which give true to type seedlings from nucellar
embryos. However, large scale utilization of polyembryonic varieties has not
been made so far and there availability in northern India is very poor.
2. Citrus:
6. The rootstocks known to impart disease tolerance, high productivity and
long tree life have also been identified. Seeds of most citrus species are
polyembryonic and thus nucellar seedlings are used both for raising uniform
rootstocks as well as for direct planting in acid lime and mandarins and also
helps to raise healthy plants as most of the citrus viruses are not transmitted
through seeds.
Table. 1. Commonly used citrus rootstocks
ROOTSTOCK CHARACTERISTICS
Rough lemon Large tree, high yield, deep rooted, susceptible to blight, tristeza tolerant,
suitable for oranges and grape fruit; Fruit: Large, low quality
Trifoliate orange Small tree, high yield, resistant to footrot, tristeza; suitable for mandarins;

In India, Rangpur lime is the most promising for mandarin and sweet orange
in central and south India (Singh et al., 1997).
7. In Punjab, Jatti Khatti (C. jambhiri) and Rangpur lime for kinnow, Rangpur
lime and Cleopatra mandarin for Blood Red and Jatti Khatti and Cleoptra
Mandarin for Jaffa have shown promise ( Dhatt and Singh, 1993).
Feronia limonia proved to be highly dwarfing and precocious and suitable
for high density planting.
Citrus volkameriana found superior rootstocks for Navel orange, Valencia
orange, Ruby Red and Marsh Grapefruit trees compared with the other
rootstocks.
3. Guava
Rootstocks for guava can either be grown from open pollinated seeds or
clonally propagated. Wilt resistant Chinese guava rootstock (Psidium
friedrichsthalianum) and had small bushes.
Shankar (1967) reported that P molle, P guineense, P cattleianum, and
Phillippines guava were found suitable as rootstocks.
Pusa Srijan (aneuploid 82) found to be promising dwarf rootstock and had
effect on growth and yield of Allahabad Safeda at IARI, New Delhi. The
overall yield/unit volume of the plants was highest in Pusa Srijan (Sharma el'
al., 1992) and there is a strong potentiality of its being used as a dwarfing
rootstock on commercial scale for increasing the production and profitability
of guava orchards.
4. Grape
The important rootstocks for grape viz., Dog Ridge, 110-R, Salt creek,
Temple, St. George, Ripario & Gloria, US17 and US 41, Harmony, 1613,
8. Freedom etc, plays important role for imparting dwarfness and tolerance
against biotic and abiotic stresses.
Resistance of Rootstocks to Phylloxera: Rootstocks with resistance to
phylloxera are 'Riparia Gloire', '1104-14 Mgt', SO4' (Selection Oppenheim
4), `K5BB' (Kober 5BB), and 'St. George.
Resistance of Rootstocks to Root Nematodes: The rootstocks exhibited
resistance to root nematodes, namely, 'Barnes' (V champini), 'Joly' ( V
champini), 'Monticola x Rupestris 'Ramsey' (V rupestris x V candicans),
`Riparia x berlandieri 161-49', and 'Rupestris St. George'. Some other
rootstocks considered to be resistant to nematodes are 'Ramsey', 'Dog
Ridge', 'Harmony', '1613 C' and 'SO4'.
Tolerance of Rootstocks to Salinity: More recently, rootstock effects on
salt tolerance of 'Sultana' , the best performing rootstocks were 'Ramsey',
'1103P' and 'R2', which could impart most vigour to the scions.
Tolerance of Rootstocks to Drought: Rootstocks from V berlandieri x V
rupestris were considered to be drought tolerant. Drought resistant
rootstocks '11OR', '140Ru' and '1103P'.
5. Sapota
The most commonly used rootstock for sapota is Rayan or Khirni
( Mimusops hexandra). In rootstock trials conducted in Gujarat, Kerala and
Andhra Pradesh, Khirni was found to be most vigorous and productive
rootstock compared to sapota seedlings and Bassia latifolia (Chadha 1991).
Chrysophyllum lanceolatum, an indigenous species has also found suitable
9. as it have abundant fruiting with seed fertility over 95% and has well
established root system as well as wide adoptability.
6. Minor fruit crops:
➢ In ber, Zizyphus nummularia (dwarfing due to inverted bottle neck at
graft union) and Zizyphus rotundifolia ,
➢ Bael Aegle fraeglegaboensis,
➢ In Fig, Ficus glomerata- a nematode resistant rootstock,
➢ In custard apple, Annona glabra which is suitable for various soil
condition,
➢ Jamun, Syzigium fruticosum (termite resistent) and Syzigium
densiflora,
➢ In Olive, Olea huspidata can be used as a potential rootstocks.
