Whole-plant hydraulic conductance, shoot growth, and leaf photosynthetic properties were measured on kiwifruit vines with four clonal rootstocks to examine the relationship between plant hydraulic conductance and leaf stomatal conductance (gs) and to test the hypothesis that reduced hydraulic conductance can provide an explanation for reductions in plant vigour caused by rootstocks. The rootsto...

indian ber (ziziphus mauritiana) has growing type as grape and is inclined to horizental and down ward growth. if it is not trained appropriately, it would grow into very bushy with thiny shoots. hence, such trees have short lives, and are liable to pests and diseases with low yield. fruit harvesting is also difficult in bushy trees. therefore, proper pruning and training of young trees is esse...

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. ...

Dwarfing rootstocks are a valuable genetic resource for managing high-density plantations. The selection of the appropriate scion/rootstock combination is key to improving crop performance and sustainable production in particular environment specific training systems. ‘Shatangju’ mandarin scion cultivar grafted onto ‘Flying Dragon’ rootstock tends be dwarfing develops short stature plants. To o...

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...

To explore the quality rootstock which impart better stionic establishment of mango seedlings, we studied comparative effect scion and using three varieties (Sindhri, Chaunsa Neelum) grafted on rootstocks i.e. Ratam, Pado Sindhri. Parameters including seed germination (%), seedling height (cm), leaves rootstock-1, vigor index (SVI), fresh biomass shoot roots (g), dry chlorophyll content (rg), d...

Agricultural bioinoculants containing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi represent a potential opportunity to reduce the dependence of grapevines ( Vitis ) on agrochemicals. This field study assessed ability four commercial colonize grapevine roots and their effects petiole nutrient concentration, berry composition, root morphology ‘Pinot noir’ vinifera grafted onto rootstock ‘Couderc 3309’ riparia ×...

Abstract The experiment was conducted in the nursery of Diyala Agriculture Directorate during growing seasons 2021 from March to November study effect growth promoters Humic acid, Atonic and Salicylic acid spray on some chemical vegetative parameters Local bloody orange transplants budded sour rootstock. included two factors, first one cultivars (Local bloody), second promoters(Humic acid). spr...
