Abstract
Grafted seedling has become a common practice in many parts of the world in protected cultivation.
Use of grafted seedling increased in greenhouses due to enhance yield and fruit quality.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of grafting and the kinds of rootstocks on survival rate, yield and some qualitative traits on cucumber fruits.
The slant cut grafting method was used.
The greenhouse cucumber cultivar ‘Gordion’ was grafted on two candidate hybrids and eight lines (14×24, 20×24, 18, 96, 76, 37, 13, 36, 14, 73). Non grafted plants were used as control.
The results showed that total yield, early yield and total number of fruits were significantly influenced by grafting.
The highest total yields were obtained from ‘Maximus’ and 14×24.
