Mineral Nutrient Uptake in Cucumbers Grafted on Lagenaria siceraria and Cucurbita moschata Rootstocks in Different Temperature
Authors
Abstract:
An experiment was designed to investigate the effect of grafting Cucumis sativus var. Super daminos on Cucurbita moschata (Rs) and Lagenaria siceraria (Lg)which is comparing with non-grafting of Cucumis sativus var. Super daminos (Rn) and self-grafting (Rc). The experiment carried out as a factorial experiment based on complete randomized design (CRD) with 4 replicates in two temperature treatments in the greenhouse of Isfahan University of Technology. Treatments were temperature included optimum temperature (27±2°C) and cold temperature (15±2°C). The results showed that concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg decreased in low temperature and Na concentration was increased. Nutrient use efficiency of N, P, K, and Na was increased with decreasing temperature and the concentrations of Ca and Mg was decreased. Generally, endemic rootstock could improve the grafting cucumber nutrient absorbtion so the result of this experiment showed that Lagenaria siceraria compare with other rootstock improved the N, P, K and Mg absorption.

The Influence of Rootstock Selection on Fruit Quality Attributes of Watermelon
Grafting watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) to control Fusarium wilt has been practiced in Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East for decades. Until recently, grafting watermelon has not been practiced in the United States due to labor costs and land availability. There is some disagreement in the literature as to the effects that grafting has on watermelon fruit quality. This study was designed...

Salinity is an important factor in reduced cucumber yield and quality. Grafting on the resistant rootstock could keep growth near to optimum condition. The aim of the present research is to investigate the characteristics of different rootstocks on physiology and fruit characteristics of cucumber. Treatments were rootstocks [Rn: Nongrafted (Cucumis sativus v. DAVOSII), Rt: Tanbal (Cucurbita max...

The performance of three different rootstock (Adara (Prunus cerasifera L.), SL 64 (Prunus mahaleb), and Colt (Prunus avium x Prunus pseudocerasus)) as nutrient suppliers has been studied for sweet cherry cultivars (Prunus avium L.). The results obtained suggested that, depending on the rootstock, the trees are submitted to different degrees of stress. According to the data obtained, it could be...

The effects of three Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) species (Glomus versiforme, Claroideoglomus etunicatum and Rhizophagus intraradices) were studied on the growth parameters and nutrient uptake of three apple rootstocks (M.9, M.7 and MM.106). The soil medium contained a high level of calcium carbonate (38.65%). The results showed that AMF inoculation could increase almost all growth parame...
