This study was conducted as part of a stone fruit decline project to determine the effects of soil pH (3.9 to 7.0) on soil and plant nutrient imbalance and mortality of standard (Mazzard and Maheleb) and new (GI148-1 and GI148-8) rootstocks. Seedling mortality and soil Ca in all rootstocks and soil K and leaf Ca, K, Al, and Mn contents in all rootstocks but GI148-8 were higher at below optimum than at optimum soil pH. The nutrient imbalance suggests that the adaptation of these rootstocks to biotic and abiotic factors needs to be considered.
