“…The main goal of employing these agricultural practices is to control soil borne pathogens (Crino et al, 2007). However, the importance of vegetable grafting includes higher crop performance , higher tolerance to abiotic stresses such as salinity, alkalinity, nutrient stress, drought and heavy metal contamination (Colla et al, , 2011(Colla et al, , 2012(Colla et al, , 2013Kumar et al, 2015a,b;Rouphael et al, 2008Rouphael et al, , 2010Schwarz et al, 2010;Savvas et al, 2010) as well as improving fruit quality (Proietti et al, 2008;Rouphael et al, 2010).…”

To improve the success of grafted tomato plants, the response under different types of lighting has been evaluated. The lights u sed are compact fluorescent, high efficiency fluorescent, standard fluorescent and pure Blue-Light-Emitting Diodes. The assay was conducted in a culture chamber under the following conditions: temperature (night-day) 17.5/19.8 ºC (0.8 ± 0.2/0.1 ºC), relative humidity 56.44/72.40% (6.65 ± 0.01%) and radiation 92, 70, and 36 Wm -2 . The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) grafting method used was tube grafting with a small grafting clip using the cultivars Myla as scion and Maxifort as rootstock. Spectral radiation was measured at canopy level. Fresh and dry biomass in partitioning organs (leaves, stems and roots), Indol Acetic Acid (IAA), proline and reducing sugars were quantified. Standard fluorescent lamps have a very interesting spectral quality for grafting applications due to their B:R (blue:red), B:FR (blue:far red), PAR:NIR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation:Near Infrared) and R:FR (Red:Far Red) ratios; grafted plants under standard fluorescent lamps present lower proline concentrations (990μg per g of fresh weight) and higher sugar concentrations (27μg per g of fresh weight) than plants under other treatments. Furthermore, standard fluorescent lamps ensure the highest stem and root growth as well as an adequate water status.

“…Grafting is an important technique for vegetable production in many countries where intensive and continuous cultivation is performed. Vegetable grafting has been used to improve yield, fruit quality and disease resistance in Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae [3][4][5][6]. In recent years, grafting has been found effective in overcoming abiotic stresses.…”

“…Vegetable grafting is considered a sustainable pest and disease management practice that can improve fruit yields and quality as well as reduce environmental impacts with fewer chemical fumigants applied than in a non-grafted cropping system. Moreover, according to [4][5][6][7], grafted vegetables can exhibit excellent tolerance to both biotic stresses (e.g., soil-borne pathogens, foliar pathogens, arthropods and weeds) and abiotic stresses (e.g., low/high temperature, drought/flooding, heavy metal and nutrition). Even though grafting has been practiced in fruit trees for thousands of years, vegetable grafting has only recently been adopted on a commercial scale [8].…”

“…Therefore, generalizations on the tolerance to nematodes cannot be applied to the different genotypes of this cultivar. The additional benefits of some rootstocks are increased tolerance to humidity and soil salinity, improved water and nutrient uptake and an increase in plant vigor (Lee;Oda, 2003;Rivero;Ruiz;Romero, 2003;Schwarz et al, 2010). An important factor to consider is the effect of the density of plants on the yields of grafted commercial cultivars.…”

Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata rootstock are used to prevent infection with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in watermelon production; however, this rootstock is not effective against nematode attack. Because of their vigor, the grafted plants can be planted at lower plant densities than the non-grafted plants. The tolerance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum and Meloidogyne incognita was assessed in watermelon plants grafted onto a hybrid of Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta or the Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata cv Super Shintoza rootstocks. The densities of plants were 2083 and 4166 plants ha -1 . Non-grafted watermelons were the controls. The Crunchy Red and Sangría watermelon cultivars were used as the scions, it the latter as a pollinator. The experiments were performed for two production cycles in soils infested with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum and Meloidogyne incognita. The incidence of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum was significantly greater in the non-grafted than in the grafted plants.The grafted plants presented similar resistance to Fusarium regardless of the rootstock. The root-knot galling index for Meloidogyne incognita was significantly lower in plants grafted onto Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta than onto the other rootstock. The yields of plants grafted onto Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta grown at both plant densities were significantly higher than in the other treatments.Index terms: Citrullus lanatus; grafting; triploid; Fusarium oxysporum; root-knot nematodes. RESUMOA enxertia de Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata tem sido usada para prevenir problemas com Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum na produção de melancia embora não seja efetivo contra ataque de nematóides. Em razão de seu vigor, plantas enxertadas podem ser plantadas em densidade mais baixa do que as plantas não enxertadas. A tolerância a Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum e Meloidogyne incognita foi avaliada em plantas de melancia enxertadas em híbridos de Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta e em Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata cv Super Shintoza. Foram usadas densidades de plantas de 2.083 e 4.166 plantas ha -1 . Como testemunhas usou-se plantas não enxertadas. Os cultivares de melancia Crocantes vermelhas e Sangria foram usados como polinizador. O experimento foi realizado em dois ciclos, sendo instalado em solo infestado com Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum e Meloidogyne incognita. A incidência de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum foi, significativamente, maior em plantas não enxertadas. Plantas enxertadas apresentaram resistência semelhante ao Fusarium independentemente do porta-enxerto. O índice de galhas de Meloidogyne incognita foi significativamente menor em plantas enxertadas em Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta. As maiores diferenças significativas em relação aos demais tratamentos foram observadas em ambas as densidades de plantas enxertadas pela produtividade das plantas enxertadas em Citrullus lanatus cv Robusta.Termos para indexação: Citrullus lanatus; enxertia; triplóides; Fusarium oxysporum; nematóides d...
