The effects of grafted seedlings on yield and fruit quality of cucumber (Cucumis sativum L.) under common greenhouse conditions
Session
Agriculture, Food Science and Technology
Description
The study's objective was to evaluate grafted seedlings' effects on cucumber yield and fruit quality (Cucumis sativum L) under common greenhouse conditions. The experiment was carried out at a farmer’s greenhouse in Stanovc, Vushtrri municipality of Kosovo. Grafted seedlings (GS) in two different rootstocks (Cucurbita fucifolia and Sprinter) and non-grafted seedlings (NG) were applied for the gherkin cultivar Centuar F1. The effects of grafted seedlings on yield and fruit quality were estimated under common greenhouse conditions. The results of the experimental data revealed that the application of the grafted seedlings (GS) recorded significantly the highest yield, more number of leaves per plant, number of fruits, and highest fruit yield. No significant differences exist between the two applied cucumber rootstocks on fruit quality and harvested fruits.
