the current experiment was carried out to evaluate qualitative and quantitativeof three melons (cucumis melo gp. ameri) accssions named zardjalal, ananasi and khanoti. the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 16 treatments and three replications at research field of jahad-e-daneshgahi, campus of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran. five ...

A grafting robot based on cleft grafting method has been developed to improve efficiency of grafting solanaceae vegetables. This robot consists of four parts including a clamping manipulator and carrying, cutting, feeding mechanisms. These not only enable the robot to conveniently perform clamping, carrying, positioning, cutting, joining, and binding rootstock and scion, but also improve the gr...

a principal obstacle facing intensive pear orchard establishment in iran is the absence of appropriate dwarfing or semi-dwarfing rootstocks, compatible with commercial cultivars, as well as showing adaptability with alkaline soils. this research aimed at an evaluation of the hawthorn seedlings (crataegus sp.) as a potential dwarfing rootstock for pear and a comparison of its dwarfing effects wi...

The effect of different pre-sowing seed treatments and sowing dates on germination and rootstock quality of ber was assessed to standardize a combination which could yield optimum germination and quality rootstock. Of the fourteen pre-sowing treatments, highest seed germination and best seedling growth was obtained in T10 x D2 (seed soaking in water for 48 hours followed by 6 days storage in mo...

Verticillium wilt (caused by Verticillium dahliae), a soilborne disease, often causes significant reductions of yield in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) production where crop rotation is limited. Rootstock replacement through grafting is considered an effective method to control this disease. This 2-year study investigated the eggplant yield, resistance to verticillium wilt, and allelochemicals...

The use of rootstocks tolerant to water stress in pepper crops is a complementary technique for saving irrigation without affecting yields by means particular rootstock physiological traits, which changes the scion’s perception stress. present study aimed analyze morphological and adaptation ‘Cuerno’ cultivar grafted onto NIBER® subjected capacitance sensor-based deficit irrigation. stomatal co...

The grafting of vegetable crops is considered a valuable mean for ensuring the yield and quality under different cultivation conditions. Simultaneously, there are increasing research efforts in exploiting underutilised plants as potential rootstocks vegetables to increase sustainability horticultural systems. In accordance with European Green Deal, application biostimulants fashionable ecologic...
