Effect of partial root-zone drying on grafted tomato in commercial greenhouse

Abstract: For two years, the tomatoes (cv. ‘Belle’ and ‘Clarabella’), ungrafted, self-grafted and grafted onto the ‘He-man’ rootstock, were grown under two irrigation regimes, i.e., partial-root zone drying (PRD) and fully irrigated (FI), to investigate whether grafting can alleviate drought stress and promote water-use efficiency (WUE). The grafted plants under the FI regime had the highest vegetative growth, which was the result of more leaves and greater leaf area and were only significantly different from the PRD gr… Show more

“…Comparing height with leaf number, it can be assumed that interleaf nodes interval was not influenced by grafting or irrigation. These findings partially differed from other studies [14,20]. Similarly, vegetative biomass production (as leaf area, leaf and shoot DM) was bigger in grafted plants.…”

“…Higher Ca uptake induced by grafting are important for the tomato fruits due to the possibility of blossom-end rot incidence. Different than Ca, in grafted tomato was found lower leaf Mg what is in line with previous studies and could be also influenced by rootstock and cultivars used [5,14]. It seems that grafting somehow decrease Mg uptake in grafted vegetables, but reason it is not yet clear.…”

“…The yield rate of tomato crops is characterized by the level of harvest achieved for several indicators. Meanwhile, tomato crop production depends on the irrigation system, local climatic conditions, and the selection of a growing medium [24]. Porous irrigation has a degree of Permeability that can maintain water seepage on the subsurface of the emitter and soil moisture.…”
