“…The increases in average fruit weight and fruit length of up to 21.6% and 5.5%, respectively, from using the Yaocali F1 or CLX-PTX991 F1 rootstocks, can be attributed to the overall greater plant growth and development that they promote [25], indicated by the 20% and 6.5%, respectively, increases in each parameter. Given the vigor that rootstock cultivars generally possess, frequently characterized by more efficient water and nutrient absorption [5,29], similar results are reported for grafted cucumber [40] and grafted tomato [17], as well as a 30% increase in dry biomass production and greater accumulation of mineral elements in the aerial parts of the plant [41]. Our recorded yield increases were only slightly higher than the 25% increase reported by Lopez et al [28], and less than the up to 50% yield increases described by Muñoz et al [42] and Sánchez et al [25] for bell pepper.…”

“…Yield increases of up to 35% [17,27] and a 35% increase in the quality of exported tomatoes [16] have both been reported for grafted tomato. López et al [28] reports increases of over 25% in fruit yield, with the use of abiotic stress tolerant rootstocks, making it a good adaptation strategy for abiotic stress conditions [29]. The selection of rootstock is incredibly important for improving the quality of the plants and the commercial quality of the fruit [30], as such there must exist sufficient compatibility between the rootstock and scion [6].…”

Response of Bell Pepper to Rootstock and Greenhouse Cultivation in Coconut Fiber or Soil

Vegetable production in greenhouses is preferred when soil quality is degraded by high salinity or incidence of pests and diseases. In these soils with abiotic and biotic issues, it is a challenge to increase the yield and quality of fruits. The use of rootstocks and organic substrates are effective and environmentally friendly techniques to solve that challenge. The objective was to study the effect of rootstocks on yields and quality in bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) grown in either soil or coconut fiber substrate, in greenhouses. Using a randomized block design with three repetitions, the resulting treatment groups consisted of three rootstocks (Foundation-F1, Yaocali-F1, CLX-PTX991-F1 (Ultron), and non-grafted controls) with four hybrids as scions (Lamborghini, Bambuca, DiCaprio, and Ucumari). The yield of fruit per plant (YFP) and number of fruit per plant (NFP) obtained in coconut fiber were 85% and 55% greater, respectively, than in soil. The CLX-PTX991-F1 rootstock was superior to the hybrids without rootstock (p ≤ 0.05) in YFP and NPF (30% and 19.5%, respectively). The Lamborghini hybrid had significantly greater YFP and NFP than the Ucumari. We concluded that the use of coconut fiber significantly improves the yields of bell pepper and that the use of rootstock improves plant vigor and plant yield.

“…Deep pepper root systems have been considered one of most important traits of tolerance. López-Marín et al [158] have reported finding greater root growth in drought-tolerant grafted pepper plants (Hermino grafted onto Atlante) compared with scions (Herminio) ungrafted in an irrigation-deficit regime. The physiological tolerant mechanisms to overcome water stress in pepper-grafted plants are not well-known.…”

Pepper is an extremely important vegetable worldwide in socio-economic terms. However, persistent land use, monoculture, and intensified production processes have led to soil diseases. This, along with abiotic stress, and mainly salinity of soil and waters, water stress, and suboptimal temperatures, can lead to physiological disorders emerging in peppers, e.g., cracking and Blossom end rot, which induce plant senescence, and lower not only in yields, but also in product quality. Salinity and water shortage are the two main environmental problems that crops face in the Mediterranean Region. One way of overcoming stresses from an ecological or integrated crop management viewpoint is to use grafted plants as an adaptation strategy. Initially, grafting technology has expanded in Solanaceae and Cucurbitacea species to overcome biotic stress. Nowadays, grafts are being used as several approaches to cushion the impact of climate change on agricultural systems. Furthermore, grafts allow desirable varieties by organoleptic or productivity traits, but they are sensitive to abiotic stress and can be grown under abiotic stress. As far as we know, very few studies on grafted pepper plants under abiotic stress are available.

“…Araticum-de-terra-fria rootstock compared to araticummirim rootstock is more agronomical advantageous, because its field duration is larger and do not show signs of "elephant foot" and dwarfism. However, dwarfism in fruit trees is an advantageous feature because it reduces manufacturing costs by increasing the density of the plants in the cultivated area (López-Marín et al, 2017). The atemoya scion grafted onto araticum-de-terra-fria is stronger than the one grafted on araticum-mirim, while the development is identical between both, however there is need to wait for an additional year for the atemoya produce fruits when grafted on araticum-de-terra-fria, compared to araticum-miri m (Scaloppi and Martins, 2013).…”

This study aimed to quantify the class III peroxidase activity in young plants of different species belonging to Annonaceae botany family, with high potential as a rootstock, for early detection of graftcompatible atemoya (Annona x atemoya Mabb.). The experimental design was randomized block, that evaluated the species araticum-de-terra-fria (Annona emarginata (Schltdl.) H. Rainer 'variety terra-fria'), araticum-mirim (Annona emarginata (Schltdl.) H. Rainer 'variety mirim) and biribá (Annona mucosa (Schltdl.) H. Rainer), with rootstock potential, and atemoya (scion), which were divided into four blocks, each with four plants. The peroxidase was quantified on the stem before grafting. Statistical analysis showed that only the biribá presented different peroxidase activity compared to atemoya plants; and araticum-mirim and araticum-de-terra-fria were similar to atemoya plants. Thus, the peroxidase activity could not be possible or be used as a tool in the early diagnosis of the graft-compatible in atemoya combinations.
