The Effects of Grafting on Different Rootstock On Plant Growth, Yield and Quality

In this study; The effects of grafted cucumbers obtained from these combinations on plant growth, yield and quality were investigated by grafting Beith Alfa cucumber on some pumpkin and melon species which may be rootstock candidates. Study; Laguaria siceraria, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moshata, Luffa cylindrica, Cucumis melo var.dudaim and commercially used for more watermelons, TZ148 F1 was used as rootstock and Bereket F1 cucumber cultivar was used as scion. As a control group, unvaccinated and grafted plants were used. According to the results of the study, the highest value in terms of plant height was obtained from cucumber plant grafted on TZ 148 F1 rootstock, while the highest value in early yield was obtained from TZ 148 F1 rootstocks. The total yields of the unvaccinated (control) group, grafted on itself (Fertility F1 / Fertility F1) and combinations grafted on TZ 148 F1 were determined to be higher. At the end of this study, the determination of suitable rootstock combination showed positive effect on plant growth, yield and quality in cucumber cultivation and it was concluded that selected rootstocks were important for grafted seedling use.
