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...

Rootstock is widely used for the cultivation of citrus fruits because it brings resistance or tolerance to diseases environmental constrains and modulates fruit quality. Polyploidization a widespread improvement strategy in citrus. The objective was evaluate effect rootstock ploidy level on composition essential oils. Two trials were conducted, one displaying ‘Navelina’ orange grafted three roo...

vegetative propagation of persian walnut encounters a major problem in iran growing conditions. this experiment was carried out to study the physiological effects of rootstock as regards herbaceousness or woodiness, and with respect to the presence of leaf on it or not on minigrafting success. throughout the study, 1.5-2.5 cm length persian walnut scions were minigrafted on herbaceous vs. softw...

Electroimpedance spectroscopy technology can be used to accelerate the healing of complete trees and estimate plant condition after grafting. This approach will allow sorting out low-vigor plants at early stages their development save time resources. Still, in some cases, use electrical impedance difficult due complexity equipment special measurement conditions. In this paper, we attempt overco...
