The performance of the plum rootstocks Marianna, Pixy and Wangenheim using St. Julien A as a standard to the cultivars `Avalon", `Edda", `Excalibur", `Jubileum", `Reeves" and `Victoria" was assessed in a field trial in western Norway at 60" North. Trees were planted in spring 1999, the plant material was one-year-old whips, spaced 2.0 x 4.5 m and formed with a central leader as free spindles. Soil management was grass in the alleyways and herbicide strips 1-m wide along the tree rows. Tree vigour, yield, fruit size and yield efficentcy were evaluated for the six subsequent years. Tree size was significantly affected by the rootstocks after six years growth. Wangenheim produced the smallest and St. Julien A and Pixy the largest trees as measured by trunk cross-sectional area in average for the different cultivars. St. Julien A and Pixy were the most productive rootstocks for the cultivars. However, Pixy produced significant larger yields per tree to the cultivar `Reeves" than St. Julien A. Trees on Pixy were the most yield efficient for all cultivars with the exception of `Victoria". The fruit sizes were in general large for all cultivars and became little affected by the different rootstocks. Fruit quality characterized by the content of soluble solids was in general high and did not differ between trees on the various rootstocks. The cultivar `Avalon" had the highest contents of soluble solids.

Dei siste to-tre åra har edelgranskotsjuke, årsaka av soppen Delphinella abietis, gitt store skadar i juletrefelt på Nord-Vestlandet og i Trøndelag. Nålene på årsskota vert brune og mange tre er så skadde at dei ikkje kan omsetjast.

During the period 2005-2006, trials with the bioregulator gibberellic acid (GA3) were conducted at Bioforsk Ullensvang in western Norway on mature sweet cherry trees. In 2005, unsprayed control trees of the cultivars `Van" and `Lapins" were compared with trees treated with one single application of 10, 20 and 30 ppm GA3 at the straw-yellow stage of fruit development. The same program was conducted the following year but included one extra application with 40 ppm GA3 to the cultivar `Lapins". Fruits were harvested when non-treated control fruits were mature, and again three times with 3 days intervals. At each harvest date a sub-sample of fruits were stored 3, 7, 10 and 14 days at 4ºC. Average fruit weight, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, fruit surface colour were determined for sub-samples of fruits at harvest dates and after storage. Fruit size was increased by near 1 g per fruit for both cultivars after GA3 application. Fruit firmness at harvest was not increased for the cultivar `Van" but responded linearly with increasing dosage of GA3 for the cultivar `Lapins". The maturity was delayed with half a week for "Van" and about one week for `Lapins" for all GA3 treated trees. The content of soluble solids was in general high and independent of the different treatments. Fruit size, firmness or soluble solid content were not influenced after storage and had market quality still after 10 days in cold store.

A series of field trials combining cultivars with different levels of resistance to Phythophtora infestans and different haulm killing methods was conducted in 1997, 1998 and 1999 to assess the contamination potential of the haulm. In addition, the frequency of tubers with late blight was assessed after harvest and storage, combining effects of pretreatment infection, infection by the haulm at harvest and the development of the disease during storage. Haulm killing was performed by diquat (200, 400, 600 g a.i. ha-1), half cutting of the haulm in combination with diquat (100, 200, 300 g a.i. ha-1) or full cutting of the haulm. In those treatments where haulm killing was performed purely chemically the haulm remnants" contamination potential tended to increase at reduced doses. Full mechanical destruction gave as low a contamination potential as application of the full dose of chemical haulm killer. However, there were no consistent differences between the haulm killing treatments in the frequency of blighted tubers after harvest and storage. This indicates that the input of chemical haulm killers may be reduced. There was a large difference between years in tuber blight after harvest and storage, which confirms that climatic factors are of major importance for tuber infection. The large difference found between the cultivars in the frequency of tuber blight indicates that tuber resistance should be an important part of integrated late blight disease management.
