Grafting has become an imperative for intensive vegetable production since chlorofluorocarbon-based soil fumigants were banned from use on grounds of environmental protection. Compelled by this development, research into rootstock-scion interaction has broadened the potential applications of grafting in the vegetable industry beyond aspects of soil phytopathology. Grafting has been increasingly...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com vegetables and flowers. Practicing of grafting in vegetable crops is an exclusive tool in East Asia to manage various vulnerable issues to the intensive vegetable production. In this regard, the first scientific report of vegetable grafting was published during late 1920 in Japan Journal of Horticulture [1]. This study was designed to control soil b...

grafting and mycorrhizal fungi have gained interest for the positive effects they can have on vegetable crops. the aim of this work was to study the combined effect of grafting with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) inoculation on fruit yield and quality of mini-watermelon [citrullus lanatus (thumb.) matsum and nakai]. ungrafted plants or grafted onto rootstock rs 841 (cucurbita maxi...

Grafted seedlings are used commonly in commercial vegetable culture in countries such as Korea and Japan, where land use is intensive. Lee (1994) has reviewed the physiological aspects of grafting. The percentage of cultivated area of grafted seedlings in outdoor commercial vegetable culture amounts to 81% in Korea and 54% in Japan (Table 2 in Lee, 1994). In greenhouse cultivation, the percenta...

Cucumber is an important type of vegetable that grown in high quantities. Abiotic stress factors can cause significant morphological, physiological and molecular changes cucumber. Grafting on strong rootstocks reduce this negative effect. This study was carried out to evaluate the genotoxic potential salinity cucumber determine effect grafting genotoxicity. Non-grafted grafted plants were treat...

At present, the existing vegetable grafting machines are cutting and operations for a single plant or row. They need to manually automatically grab seedlings, their efficiency is not significantly higher than that of manual techniques. In this paper, grafted melon seedlings were subject research. Based on splice-grafting method, we designed clamping positioning device full-tray mechanical reali...

The objectives of this research are to develop the grafting robots and an acclimatization chamber for watermelon, and tomato seedlings. For watermelon seedlings, a top plug-in robotic grafting system has been developed, which is applicable for grafting a scion into a mature rootstock before the scion’s cotyledons spread. It thus makes the scion to be very tender and greatly different from the r...
