DOUBLE ROOTSTOCK

DOUBLE ROOTSTOCK. About 4.5 years ago, Dr. Rodolfo C. Undan and Bernardo Dizon planted two grafted mango trees in a not-so-favorable area at the Central Luzon State University. One had single rootstock while the other had two. Today, the one with double rootstock (right being pointed to by Dr. Undan) is virtually double in sized compared to the one with a single rootstock being pointed by Dizon at left. In another planting in a private farm in Bulacan, Dizon said that a four-year-old mango tree with double rootstock has caught up with an 8-year-old grafted tree with single rootstock. Dizon has been employing the double rootstock technique to hasten the growth of his mother trees so he could produce more budsticks within a shorter time. That is the same technique he had used in his mother plants of longkong, a special variety of lanzones from Thailand

MANGO WITH DOUBLE ROOTSTOCK GROWS FASTER
