Abstract :This study was carried out in the greenhouses of the Eastern Mediterranean Transitional Zone Agricultural Research Institute in 2019 to investigate rooting situation of clonal rootstock candidates belonging to different species of Prunus obtained by selection breeding from Kahramanmaraş natural plantation. In the study, 28 rootstocks were usedfrom P.cerasifera, P.domestica, P.divaricata and P.persica. GF 677 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P. persica × P. amygdalus); Myrobolan 29C insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P. cerasifera); and Pixy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P. institia); were used as control rootstocks. In the experiment, 0- 1000- 2000- 3000 mg L-1 IBA insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Indolbutyric acid); and medium size perlite were used. As a result of the study, the highest rooting percentage was obtained from P. persica with 98.07% and the lowest from P. divaricata with 74.19%. The highest number of roots was determined in P. persica insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.14 pieces/cutting); and the lowest number of roots was found in P. divaricata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.19 pieces/cutting);. Among all clones used in the study, 100.00% rooting was detected in six candidate clonal rootstocks insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(KL-20, KL-12, KL-21, KL-24, KL-27, KL-23);. The highest mean root number was found in clone KL-27 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P. persica); with 14.91, and the highest root length was found in KL-59 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P. cerasifera); with 64.82 mm. At the end of the study, although rooting results are better in rootstocks of P. persica species, despite lower results in rootstocks of P. divaricata species, it was found interesting that the best clonal rooting result was in the clone of P. domestica which 1000 mg. L-1 and 2000 mg.L-1 dose IBA applications gave the best results according to both rooting rates and average root length values.
