Determination of chlorophyll and nutrient amount of different species of roses propagated on different rootstocks by Stending grafting technique

In this thesis; three different standart cutting rose species (Samourai, Dolomite and Kalinka) propagated on three different rose rootstocks (Rosa odorata, Rosa multiflora and Rosa x hybrida "Natal Briar") by stending grafting technique in greenhouse, soilless culture conditions; the effect of rootstocks on chlorophyll and nutrient uptake by rose species have been investigated. The study consisted of two parts. The first part of the study was determination of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b an the total chlorophyll contents of different rose species propagated on different rootstocks. The second part of study was determination of macro and micro nutrient contents of roses.In this study, by the results obtained from both parts that mentioned; descriptive parameters that forms the effect of rootstocks on chlorophyll and nutrient uptake by rose species in soilless culture conditions have been demonstrated. Detected that the %95 percent of the applications, except the Dolomite grafting on Natal Briar rootstock, are similar in terms of the amount of chlorophyll. The chlorophyll content of Kalinka grafting on Natal Briar was detected that far from other species in proportion as %76. Dolomite grafting on Natal Briar rootstock and Dolomite grafting on R. multiflora rootstock are similar in grafting as %86. Detected that the %85 percent of the applications, except the Kalinka grafting on R. multiflora rootstock, were similar in terms of the amount of chlorophyll. The chlorophyll content of Samourai grafting on R. odorata and Samourai grafting on Natal Briar were detected that far from other species in proportion as %55.
