This study was aimed to determine the rootstock effect on various horticultural traits like annual extension growth, tree volume, TCSA, fruit weight, fruit volume and yield were significantly affected by rootstocks and recorded maximum vegetative growth in trees on MM106 compared to M9 rootstock during the studies. The vegetative growth also varied significantly among cultivars which are genetically controlled feature in different apple cultivars. | Effects of rootstocks on horticultural characteristics of various exotic apple cultivars in Kashmir climatic conditions
