EFFECT OF SOME DIFFERENT ROOTSTOCKS ON YIELD AND ITS COMPONENTS OF CUCUMBER.
In this study, the effect of different rootstocks on cucumber survivals %, plant growth, fruit, yield and quality were studied by comparing grafted plants with non-grafted ones under plastic house during the winter seasons of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012, The cucumber (Cucumis sativas L,) c.v Balqis F1, was grafted onto 6001 (C.shantosa), Strong (C.mixita), Gumbo (C.maxima), Bottle gourd (Legenaria sosiraria), Vegetable sponge (Luffa cylindrica) and pumpkin (C.moschata).
C.V Balqis F1 Non-grafted plants were used as control. Grafting significantly affected survival % , stem length ,stem diameter, internodes length , leaf area, plant fresh and dry weight.
Control plants had low survival %, short stem length, internodes length and low leaf area, plant fresh and dry weights in both seasons.
The highest number of flower/node, per plant and fruit setting % values were obtained from plants grafted onto 6001 followed by those grafted onto strong. The highest early yield and total yield per plant as a number and weight were obtained from plants grafted onto 6001 followed by the grafted onto strong. Grafting cucumber onto 6001 significantly increased fruit weight, length and shape index.
