boron (b) toxicity is an important disorder that can limit plant growth in arid and semi-arid environments. it has been proven that use of tolerant rootstocks impede b uptake or transport to the aerial portions of plants. this may alleviate b toxicity in the scion, consequently improves the tolerance to excess b in the root zone. an experiment was conducted to find the effects of b toxicity on ...

We investigated hydraulic conductance characteristics and associated dry matter production and distribution of peach trees grafted on different rootstocks growing in the field. A single scion genotype was grown on a low ('K146-43'), an intermediate ('Hiawatha') and a high ('Nemaguard') vigor rootstock. 'K146-43' and 'Hiawatha' rootstocks had 27 and 52% lower mean leaf-specific hydraulic conduct...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the widespread use of dwarfing rootstocks in the fruit-tree industry, their impact on tree architectural development and possible role in the within-tree balance between growth and flowering are still poorly understood, in particular during the early years of growth. The present study addressed this question in apple trees, through a detailed analysis of shoot popula...

in order to study the effect of rootstock, scion and some methods of grafting and budding to achieve the best methods of grafting in pomegranate, split factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in march 2013 in greenhouse at the agricultural college of vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan. factors included rootstock, scion, and methods of grafting and time of grafting. ...

in this research, the effect of irrigation duration on growth characteristics of thomson navel orange grafted on three rootstocks was evaluated in complete randomized block design in iran citrus research institute. factors included rootstock in three levels (poncirus (poncitus trifoliate), citrange (citrus sinensis  poncitus trifoliata) and sour orange (citrus aurantium)) duration of irrigatio...

in order to select of the best nectarine cultivars in meshkinshahr environmental condition, 11 cultivars of nectarines (including: independence, star redgold, stark sunglow, sanking, quata, shabrang e karaj, germez-e-paeez-e-mashad and 4 new imported cultivars including: winberger, vega, orion and gioia) were grafted on misory peach rootstock. cultivars were planted in randomized complete block...

experiment was conducted as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in kermanshah to shed lights on economic analysis of deficit irrigation and integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizer son cultivation of medicinal plant borage (borago officinalis l). irrigation tritments include: a) 30% less water than crop requires invegetative, b) inreprodu...

the effect of grafting on yield and some other quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two green¬house cucumber cultivars, namely roberto and danito grafted on five rootstocks of shintoza, kiroshintoza (cucurbita maxima × c. moschata), cucurbita maxima (c. maxima cv. goriki), fig leaf gourd (c. ficifolia cv. korodome), and bottle gourd (lagenaria siceraria) was investigated in this stud...
