| In this study, five apple rootstock-scion combinations from the Guoyou Experimental Station in Qianxian County, Weibei, were selected, including Yanfu 6/M26/Baleng crabapple, Yanfu 3/T337, Yanfu 3/M26, Yanfu 6/M26, and Yanfu 3/M26/Xinjiang wild apple. The growth traits, fruit quality, and yield were systematically measured, and a comprehensive evaluation of water use efficiency, fruit quality, yield, and single-fruit weight among the five apple rootstock-scion combinations was conducted using the membership function method. Yanfu 3/T337 was superior in terms of single-fruit weight, fruit quality, and yield.This study provides a useful reference for the selection of apple rootstock-scion combinations for apple orchards in the Loess Plateau region. |
