The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of Aldrighi, Flordaguard, Hansen 2168, Okinawa, Pavia Moscatel, Tsukuba 1 and Umezeiro rootstocks on behavior of the cultivar Granada in the South of Brazil. The experiment was developed at "Faculdade de Agronomia Eliseu Maciel" of the "Universidade Federal de Pelotas". The parameters evaluated were trunk diameter, foliage size, pruning wood weight, pruning intesity index, full bloom date, bloom period, weight fruits, production per plant, estimed prodcution per hectare, yield efficiency, soluble solid content and fruit firmess. The results showed that vigorous roostocks resulted higher trunk diameter and foliage size and production; the higher production obtained with vigorous rootstock did not affect the weight of fruits. Tsukuba 1 and Okinawa rootstocks will be indicate to peach rootstock in the South of Brazil due to root nematode and behavior in this experiment.
