The peculiarities of vegetable grafting technology in Georgia
2018
Since vegetable grafting technology is relatively new to Georgia, it is very important to further develop the introduced technology, and testing of adapted species to be grown in different regions of Georgia under various climate and soil conditions. Within the study, the ability of the plants to match with other species were identified for Georgia, as well as potential productivity of their combination varieties. It was established that Tomato rootstock TD2 F1 affects the grafted one and in the result, the plant starts blooming period earlier and the amount of yield is increased. Maxifort F1 causes difference in the growth of a plant; a grafted plant grows a bit better and faster in compare with un-grafted one. In case of sweet pepper, the diseases have not been identified either, though, the rootstock positively influenced on the quantity of the crop. As it is evident from the resultsof pumpkin cultures study, it is desirable to test the grafted plants in an environment where a source from which disease can be spread is present because the above- mentioned technology is one of the measures applied in order to fight against these diseases.
