abstract among the propagation methods of mango, grafting is the most common method, but growers do not have enough knowledge about the suitable time and grafting methods of this fruit tree. this problem is the most important factor in production of grafted mango plants. this experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement and 10 replications. factors i...

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (thumb.) Matsum and Nakai] cv. Charleston gray was grafted onto three rootstocks: Cucurbita pepo, Lagenaria siceraria and (Cucurbita maxima x C. moshata). The non grafted watermelon plant was used as control. In this experiment efficiency of two kinds of grafting methods: Tube grafting and Hole insertion grafting and it was found that, Hole insertion grafting gave ...

Xanthan gum (XG) is natural polysaccharides used in food industries as stabilizers and thickener agents. The problem is that some food products are found to be contaminated by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphyloccus aureus (S. aureus) that reduce their shelf life. This research aims to synthesize biodegradable antibacterial XG-grafted-poly(N-vinyl imidazole) PVI ...

The present investigation highlights the feasibility of a polymer grafting process to enhance the durability and flame retardancy of rice straw towards application as a low cost roofing material. The success of this grafting methodology was perceived to depend upon a bi-step pre-treatment process encompassing delignification and inorganic salts dispersion. Subsequently free radical polymer graf...

growth traits, yield and fruit quality in ‘synda’ tomato were compared with those in tomatoes grafted onto either ‘king kong’ rootstock or onto their own rootstocks, (trained as single or double stem), and at two fruit thinning levels, of: no thinning or thinned to five fruits per truss. the data related to crop growth rate (cgr), relative growth rate (rgr), net assimilation rate (nar), leaf ar...

Grafting is an ancient technique that involves the physical joining of genotypically distinct shoot and root systems, in order to achieve a desirable compound plant. This practice widely used modern agriculture improve biotic abiotic stress tolerance, modify plant architecture, induce precocious flowering rejuvenate old perennial varieties, boost yield, more. Beneficial new rootstock-scion comb...

Grafting is the most important means of breeding peach, plum, apricot, and other fruit trees, selection rootstock crucial to quality grafting yield products. The traditional commonly used peach susceptible root-knot nematode infections, resulting in a decreased yield, while variety cherry plum rootstocks, Mirabolano 29C, resistant nematode. In this study, infection experiments on seedlin...
