METHODICAL APPROACHES TO REDUCE OF EXPENDITURE TAKING CARE OF APPLE-TREES ON LOW GROWING ROOTSTOCKS
It is shown by the conducted research that the bending of growing shoots in the horizontal position of apple-trees grafted on low growing rootstocks leads to decrease of their growth and reduction of buds laying in the leaves bosoms. On the second year after landing the crop of apple trees on the M9, CK4, CK3 on low growing rootstocks with the shoots unbent in the previous year was on 29,2-41,3 % lower, than at trees without carrying out this technique.
