The growth manifestations of shoots, which are derived from MM106 rootstock in stoolbed, are studied. Plants are covered by soil containing moisture-absorbing polymer in two dozes - 1,500 kg/dka and 3,500 kg/dka. These two combinations are also compared with the performance of plants which are developed in soil without moisture absorbent. Improved values in some growth indicators are monitored among the combinations with moisture-absorbing polymer and, in particular, with the ones with higher polymer content. Among all vegetative indicators, it is important to note the improved feather shoot formation and rooting among rootstocks developed in soil with moisture absorbent doze of 3,500 kg/dka.
