The grafting of fruits and vegetables influences fruit quality. The aim of the present work was to assess the effect of the rootstock and the scion on the antioxidant activity and the content in vitamin C, total phenols, lycopene and β-carotene of bell pepper. The cultivars Fascinato and Jeanette were used as scion and Terrano was used as rootstock. Four harvests in the production cycle of the ...

Grafting is an effective way to overcome the obstacles of continuous soil cropping and improve tolerance plants abiotic biotic stresses. An automatic grafting robot can effectively efficiency survival rate grafted seedlings, which important demand for commercialization promotion vegetable planting. Based on six main technologies, this paper deeply summarized analyzed research status, technical ...

Drought is one of the most prevalent limiting factors causing considerable losses in crop productivity, inflicting economic as well as nutritional insecurity. One of the greatest challenges faced by the scientific community in the next few years is to minimize the yield losses caused by drought. Drought resistance is a complex quantitative trait controlled by many genes. Thus, introgression of ...

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...

Background: Commercial cultivation of bitter gourd is affected by biotic stresses like mosaic disease, fusarium wilt and root-knot nematode as well abiotic stress drought. Grafting with resistant rootstocks can be a tool to control these problems. In vegetable production, grafting exploited commercially in many parts the world. The cultivated area grafted solanaceae cucubitaceae plants has incr...
