Arka Kanchan was budded on six rootstocks. The berry weight as well as TSS was found maximum with Dogridge rootstock and the same was lowest when Thompson Seedless was used as root-stock. The TSS increased till the day of final Sampling i.e. harvest in all the rootstocks tried and titrable acidity showed a decreasing trend. However, at harvest the TSS/acid ratio was highest in Anab-e-Shahi followed by Dogridge and minimum in Thompson Seedless indicating that the maturity of Arka Kanchan is delayed with Thompson Seedless rootstock.
