Abstract

This study was conducted to aim to determine the effects of different rootstocks on some growth characteristics of grafted melon seedling under greenhouse condition in 2020.In the study, four different rootstocks were used: 1-Ungrafted, 2-Ferro, 3-Maximus, and TZ148. Edalı F1 variety (Cucumis melo var. Edalı F1) was used as a scion. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications. Melon and rootstocks seeds were sown on 28.04.2020 and rootstock seeds on 03.05.2020, respectively. Grafting was done on 15.05.2020. Grafting was performed through the splice grafting method. Some growth characteristics studied on melon seedling was fresh-dry seedling weights (FSW-DSW), stem diameter-height (SD-SH), leaf number-height (LN-LH), fresh-dry root weights (FRW-DRW), root height (RH) and chlorophyll content (CC-SPAD), and some macro-micro nutrient contents. According the results of statistical analyses, the positive differences were found in the grafted seedlings compare to scion at these parameters (p<0.01). In many of the seedling quality values, Ferro and Maximus hybrids stood out temper to others. Also, in the experiment, correlations between FSW and SD, RH, SPAD, and total N content were found significant.

Aşılı Kavun Fidelerinin Bazı Kalite Parametreleri Üzerine Farklı Anaçların Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2020 yılında sera koşullarında aşılı kavun fidelerinin bazı büyüme özelliklerine farklı anaçların etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Denemede 1-Aşılanmamış, 2-Ferro, 3-Maximus ve TZ148 olmak üzere dört farklı anaç kullanılmıştır. Kalem olarak Edalı F₁ çeşidi (Cucumis melo var. Edalı F₁) seçilmiştir. Deneme tesadüf bloklar halinde üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Kavun tohumları 28.04.2020, anaç tohumları ise 03.05.2020 tarihlerinde ekilmiştir. 15.05.2020 tarihinde aşılama yapılmıştır. Aşılama kotiledon birleştirme yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Kavun fidelerinde incelenen bazı parametreler; büyüme özellikleri, taze-kuru fide ağırlıkları (FSW-DSW), gövde çapı-yüksekliği (SD-SH), yaprak sayısı ve uzunluğu (LN-LL), taze-kuru kök ağırlıkları (FRW-DRW), kök yüksekliği (RH) ve klorofil içeriği (CCSPAD) ve bazı makro-mikro besin içerikleridir. İstatistiksel olarak bu parametrelerde aşılı fidelerde aşılanmamışlara göre pozitif farklar bulunmuştur (p<0.01). Fide kalite değerlerinin çoğunda, Ferro ve Maximus anaçları diğerlerine göre daha öne çıkmıştır. Ayrıca denemede FSW ile SD, RH, SPAD ve toplam N içeriği arasındaki korelasyonlar arasındaki farklar da önemli bulunmuştur.
