ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted at Instructional-cum-Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur to study the influence of rootstocks on growth and physiological performance of clones of wine grapes. The treatments were comprised of three rootstocks grafted with seven clones of wine grape varieties viz., Ugni Blanc-380 grafted on 110 R, Sauvignon Blanc-160 grafted on SO 4,Viognier Noir-15 grafted on 1103 P, Semillon-909 grafted on SO 4, Syrah-524 grafted on 110 R, Cabernet Sauvignon-15 grafted on 1103 P and Pinot Noir-15 grated on 110 R. The results indicate that the growth attributes i.e. length of leaf (14.00 cm), width of leaf (13.10 cm), leaf area (121.83 cm2), diameter of shoot (1.35 cm) and dry matter (660.009 g) were maximum in Ugni Blanc-380 grafted on 110 R. The maximum chlorophyll 'a' (1.37 mg g-1), chlorophyll 'b'(0.66 mg g-1), total chlorophyll content (2.03 mg g-1) and rate of photosynthesis recorded by Pinot Noir-15 grafted on 110 R (2.21mg hr-1 dm-2).
