Felinem', 'Garnem', and 'Monegro' are three almond · peach hybrid rootstocks released to address the problems of Prunus growing in Mediterranean conditions not solved by the presently available rootstocks. These new rootstocks are characterized by red leaves, good vigor, easy clonal propagation, resistance to root-knot nematodes, adaptation to calcareous soils and other Mediterranean agroecological conditions, and graft compatibility with the whole range of peach and almond cultivars as well as some plum and apricot cultivars. Stone fruit growing has limitations in the Mediterranean area as a result of the preva- lence of calcareous soils, where most root- stocks show lime-induced chlorosis. In addition, the presence of root-knot nemato- des (Meloidogyne spp.) in many irrigated orchards renders fruit growing extremely difficult, especially after the ban on the use of methyl bromide for soil fumigation. Thus, the need for rootstocks to overcome these shortcomings has become essential for grow- ing stone fruit in many regions, not just the Mediterranean area (Felipe, 1989). 'Feli- nem', 'Garnem', and 'Monegro' had been released as potential rootstocks for several stone fruit species that are grown in soils having these limitations.
