The study aimed to investigate the effects of commercially available AMF inoculate (Glomus sp. mixture) on growth and nutrient acquisition in tomato (Solanumlycopersicum L.) plants directly after transplanting under different levels salinity. Inoculated (AMF+) non-inoculated (AMF−) were subjected three NaCl salinity (0, 50, 100 mM·NaCl). Seven days transplanting, analyzed for dry matter RGR whole root systems. Leaf tissue was mineral concentration before transplanting; leaf content relative...
Soilless culture systems are currently one of the fastest-growing sectors in horticulture. The plant roots confined into a specific rootzone and exposed to environmental changes cultivation factors. recent scientific evidence regarding effects several factors on morphology, architecture, performance root system plants grown SCS objectives this study. effect restriction, nutrient solution, irrigation frequency, temperature, oxygenation, vapour pressure deficit, lighting, pH, exudates, CO2,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects exogenously applied auxin over rootstock cuttings on root morphology parameters and stand establishment rate salt-stressed cutting grafted cucumber seedlings. For that purpose, before grafting, cut ends rootstocks were soaked for few seconds into solution (indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) or indole-3- butyric (IBA))at different concentrations afterwards by pruned splice grafting (RPSG) method. Ten days after seedlings transplanted individual...
A tomato cultivar ('Izmir F1') grafted onto six commercially available rootstocks ('Arnold', 'Dohkko', 'Emperador', 'He-man', 'Kaiser', and 'Suzuka') together with self-grafted plants of the (Izmir/Izmir) were included in a pot experiment. Growth, root morphology nutrient uptake parameters evaluated under different salinity conditions (0 50 mM NaCl). Grafting increases length, specific length ratio, which enhances capabilities hetero-grafted to exploit larger volume soil or otherwise...
This study investigated the effects of specific strains two arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) (Rhizophagus irregularis and Claroideoglomus claroideum) plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) (Rhizobium leguminosarum Burkholderia spp.), supplied either individually or as combination a mixture both with each on root morphology, growth fresh grain yield in pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants. Inoculated non-inoculated plants were subjected to levels salinity (0 50 mM) by addition sodium chloride into...
The study aimed to investigate the effects of commercially available AMF inoculate (Glomussp. mixture) on growth and nutrient acquisition field pea (Pissum sativumL) plants. Inoculated (AMF+) non-inoculated (AMF-) plants were subjected two levels salinity by addition sodium chlorate into tap water (0 50mM NaCl). Several times during growing cycle, in randomly selected morphology root system was analyzed dry matter roots aboveground biomass individually measured. Furthermore, plant tissue...
ISHS V Balkan Symposium on Vegetables and Potatoes THE EFFECT OF PLUG SIZE AND GRAFTING METHOD ON DRY MATTER PARTITIONING STAND ESTABLISHMENT RATE GRAFTED CUCUMBER SEEDLINGS UNDER SALINE CONDITIONS
Three equal field plots were cultivated with respectively wheat, pea and faba bean.The common conventional production technology, including the use of chemical fertilizers was applied in but no at all used bean plots.After legume harvesting, forty day old broccoli cauliflower seedlings transplanted to each them according three replications randomized block design.The transplanting conducted planting density, organic practices entire cycle.The crops improved soil fertility by increasing total...
Two different commercial rootstocks were grafted with each of two watermelon cultivars. For combination, splice grafting (SG) and root pruning (RPSG) simultaneously applied. At the end nursery period, 40 plants 14 days old seedlings for combinations transplanted in larger pots filled vermiculite divided equal groups. In following 10 all periodically irrigated amounts same nutrient solution, but differing from other by quantity NaCl added solution. weeks after grafting, transplanting,...
Two different commercial rootstocks were grafted with each of two watermelon (Citrullus aedulis L.) cultivars. For combination, splice grafting (SG) and root pruning (RPSG) simultaneously applied. At the end nursery period, a sufficient number 14-day-old seedlings combination was transplanted in larger pots filled vermiculite, divided three equal groups. In following 10 days all plants periodically irrigated amounts same nutrient solution, but differing from other quantity NaCl added to...
The aim of study was to evaluate how different apple cultivars affect root morphology and spatial distribution rootstock. experiment conducted with three cultivars; ‘Golden delicious’, ‘Gala’ ‘Starking’ grafted on M9 dwarfing Nine fourteen years old, French vertical axe trained trees were included in the experiment. trench profile method chosen system counted intersects divided into classes; fine roots (<2mm), medium-sized (2-5 mm), coarse (>5 mm). To analyze system, respective...
Vegetable grafting is increasingly recognized as an effective and sustainable plant production alternative. Grafted plants usually show increased uptake of water minerals compared with self-rooted plants, mostly thought a consequence the vigorous rootstocks selected. However, while studies frequently addressed effects on performance scions, knowledge influences scions biomass allocation, morphology, metabolic activity roots rare. In particular, plasticity root traits affecting resource...
A commercial cucumber (Cucumis sativum) variety was grafted onto a rootstocks (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata). Two different grafting methods; splice (SG) and root pruned (RPSG) were simultaneously applied. The relative growth rate during the nursery stage (RGR) its components, net assimilation (NAR) leaf area ratio (LAR) computed for each experimental plot. Meantime, root-shoot allometry coefficients calculated unit. Additionally to that, equal amounts of fresh roots originating from both...
The effects of different environment temperatures, priming treatments and durations on germination parameters early growth pepper seedlings were investigated. Seeds hydro primed in distilled water, or osmo two water potentials (-0.15 -0.5 MPa) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000. Both, seeds subject imbibitions periods, 48 72 hrs. In addition to seeds, an equal sample non was included the experiment as a control variant. Following priming, subjected tests at respectively 18 0C 24 0C. general,...
