A peach rootstock study was initiated at Monte Alegre do Sul, SP, in 1964, to evaluate the behavior of four peach cultivars: 'Talismã', 'Ouromel', 'Rei da Conserva' and 'Campinas-1', grafted on respectively 19, 9, 9 and 7 peach rootstocks. The rootstocks were seedlings of the main commercial peach cultivars planted in São Paulo and of several local peach selections. The results covering the period of 1967/71 did not show any significant difference of performance influenced by the rootstocks studied regarding the tree habit and productivity.
