Resistance to soil parasites

99 R offers a high tolerance level to radicicolae phylloxera. Its resistance to Meloidogyne hapla nematodes is good but is only
average with regard to Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne arenaria nematodes.

Adapt to environment

99 R resists up to 25% of total limestone, 14% of active limestone and a CPI of 20. Its resistance to drought is moderate to
strong. It appears to be sensitive to soil acidity and excess chlorides.

Interaction with grafts and production objectives

99 R presents a good affinity to grafts. The vigor osf this root stock is strong. It tends to delay the plant cycle of the grafts and
sometimes promotes coulure. Th first plant development is rather slow. In addition, the risk of degeneration is increased with
Syrah N.

Aptitudes for plant propagation

99 R inter-nodes are of avergae length and the diameter is average to large. The growth of accesory buds is wide apread.
Wood production is moderate (30 000 to 40 000 m/ha) and 99 R has moderate propagation by cuttings recovery and to grafting.

Resistance to aerial parasites

This root stock is very sensitive to gall phylloxera. It is likewise sensitive to anthracnosis but has a high resistance level to
downy mildew.

Clonal selection in France

The 7 approved 99 R clones carry the numbers: 96, 150, 162, 178, 179, 223 and 754.
