Selecting the proper rootstock for your vineyard is just as important as variety selection. Rootstocks are used to induce or reduce scion vigor or to overcome specific soil limitations caused by physical factors such as soil pH and high salt content, or biological factors such as phylloxera, nematodes, and cotton root rot. While some cultivars are commonly grown successfully on their own roots, others require the use of a specific rootstock for optimal vineyard production. This rootstock comparison chart offers a summary of these characteristics for your review.
