Aspects Regarding the Behavior of Tomatoes Grafted on Potatoes

Abstract

Over time, different ways have been used to increase vegetable production per unit area; from the crop systems used (field crops, protected crops and forced crops), to intensive land use (successive, associated, double and intercropping) and to the technologies applied to them. In this paper we aimed to observe some aspects related to the behavior of tomatoes grafted on potatoes.The biological material was represented by: 'Sweet Million F1' cherry tomato hybrid variety, "Carrera" white potatoes, "Memphis" red potatoes, "Blue Star" hybrid purple potatoes. The experimental variants were: tomato control variant, potatoes control variants and tomato variant grafted on red, white and purple potatoes. It was observed that the best grafting was the tomato version grafted on the red potato. The control potato variants had the highest production compared to the grafted ones.The control tomato variant registered the highest number of flowers and formed the most fruits.The three grafted variants had a lower degree of fruit binding compared to the control variant.

Rootstock scion interaction studies on various horticultural attributes of pomato grafts under protected structures

“…The amount of Co 2 under the polyhouse is always higher than under outside conditions, which increases the photosynthetic activity rate, which ultimately benefits the plant in the way of enhanced growth and development of the pomato plant as well as increasing production. Similar results also have been found by Arefin et al [ 4 ], Islam et al [ 53 ], Giosanu et al [ 54 ], Kumar et al [ 38 ], and Parthsarathi et al [ 52 ]. The aboveground growth characteristics have a direct influence on potato tuber development, according to a recent study.…”

Effect of postharvest visible spectrum LED lighting on quality and bioactive compounds of tomatoes during shelf life

“…The mean weight of the fruits used in the experiment was 14.6 ± 1.8 g, with a mean diameter of 30.9 mm, and commercial characteristic colour of this Kumato® cherry variety (Table 1). Such quality attributes agree with previous findings reported by Giosanu and Vîjan (2016) for this variety, and colour is quite similar to that reported by Li et al (2022) and Mun et al (2021), who compared different tomato varieties, including the standard Kumato®.…”

Grafting of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) onto Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.): Harvesting Double Crops from a Single Plant

“…From an agronomic point of view, grafting is important because it can combine the surface characteristics (fruit size) of scion plant with the underground characteristics (root system) of rootstock (Giosanu, Uleanu, Trãneci, & Vulpe, 2020). Due to the use of vigorous rootstock of potato, the root system of tomato becomes strong and the absorption of water and minerals increases compared to grafted tomato (Zeist et al, 2017).…”
