Evaluation of Greenhouse and Field Performances of Depar F1 Tomato Varıety Grafted on Dıfferent Rootstocks

Abstract

In this study, the effects of tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum cv. Depar F1) seedlings grafted on three different rootstocks (Kudret, Hamarat, Pençe) on yield and some quality parameters of tomato plants grown in the greenhouse and open field were investigated. According to the results we obtained, while the plants grown in greenhouses grew up 42.3% faster than those grown in the open, an increase in yield was achieved by 265%. While TA and vitamin C values, among the fruit quality characteristics, came to the fore in the plants grown in the greenhouse, the fruit firmness values came to the fore in the tomatoes grown in the field. Kudreç rootstock came to the fore regarding yield and fruit quality characteristics. When the nutrient contents of the fruits were examined, the highest N, Ca and Mg were measured in greenhouse-grown tomatoes, while the highest O.M and Mn were measured in field plants. Hamarat rootstock has come to the fore in terms of fruit nutritional content. As a result, the importance of growing conditions for grafted plants to show their performance has been demonstrated again. However, it has been demonstrated for the first time that such successful results can be obtained, especially with organic plant nutrition methods.
