Resumen
Descripción
‘Tainan No.1’ cucumber, an F1 hybrid, is powdery-mildew resistant and is, therefore, fit for greenhouse-culture.Soil-borne diseases in cucurbits have gained increasing importance with intensive cultivation of these crops. In thepresent experiment, cucumber cv. ‘Tainan No. 1’ was grafted onto two rootstocks, viz., Cucumis and Cucurbita. Non-grafted cucumber plants were used as the Control. Results revealed that both kinds of grafted plants had similargraft-survival rate, and, better vegetative growth than non-grafted ones; however, between the two rootstocks, graftedplants did not differ in vegetative growth or yield. Further, plants grafted on Cucumis had significant effect on fruitquality. In is therefore recommended that grafting procedure in cucumber greenhouse-culture can be practiced onCucumis.
