Domateste Kullanılan Farklı Anaçların Bitki Büyümesi, Verim ve Meyve Kalitesi Üzerine Etkilerinin Belirlenmesi.

In this study, different rootstocks used in tomato; effects on plant growth, fruit quality and yield were investigated. Beaufort F1, Kingkong F1, Hamarat F1, Arazi F1, Spirit F1 were used as rootstock, Ayer 38 F1 was used as the scion. Ayer 38 F1 non-grafted and also Ayer 38 F1 /Ayer 38 F1 self-grafted plants combinations were as the control used. Scion diameter, fruit firmness, internode length, number of leaves, plant high, EC and pH value of juice, titratable acidity, soluble dry matter content, fruit height, fruit diameter were not affected by rootstocks. However, an increase in rootstock diameter, early yield, total yield, fruit weight, total fruit number were observed by rootstocks. According to the result, it was observed that rootstock diameter ranged 14.5 mm-19.8 mm, total yield 8.83-14.43 kg/m², the number of fruits per plant ranged from 21.5-54.5. The effects of scion/rootstock combination on total yield were significant and Ayer 38 F1/Hamarat grafting combination resulted in higher yield than the other grafting combinations. Consequently, it was determined that tomato yield and fruit quality could be positively affected by appropriate rootstock selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
