Effect of grafting on health condition, yield and quality of watermelon

Hibrid lubenice (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai) Top Gun F1 je kalemljen na komercijalne hibridne podloge Emphasis F1 (Lagenaria tip), Strong Tosa F1 ( interspecies tip: C. maxima x C. moschata), i na jednostavnu podlogu Lagenaria siceraria L. Nekalemljene biljke su bile kontrolne. Zabeleženo je značajno povećanje mase biljaka kalemljenog rasada u poređenju sa nekalemljenim. Tokom proizvodnog ciklusa evidentirano je prisustvo larvi insekta Delia platura uz oštećenje 40,6 % biljaka u kontrolnim parcelama, dok je prouzrokovač (80,0%), dok su podloge L. siceraria i Emphasis F1 uticale na povećanje mase prvog ploda (8,308- BIOTEHNOLOGIJA I SAVREMENI PRISTUP U GAJENJU I OPLEMENJIVANJU BILJA Zbornik radova, 2022. ЕFFECT Lalević1 Poljoprivredni fakultet u Lešku fuzarioznog uvenuća uticao na stradanje 4,2% kontrolnih biljaka. Pozitivan je uticaj kalemljenja na prosečnu masu prvog ploda i fizičke karakteristike ploda. Marketinški prinos je bio najniži kod biljaka kalemljenih na podlogu Strong tosa F1 9,525kg) kao i marketinškog prinosa (89,6-91,0%) sa najmanjim učešćem fizioloških poremećaja, te povoljnim ukusom mesa ploda.Watermelon hybrid (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai) Top Gun F1 was grafted on commercial hybrid rootstocks Emphasis F1 (Lagenaria type), Strong Tosa F1 (interspecies type: C. maxima x C. moschata), and on a simple rootstock Lagenaria siceraria L.. Nongrafted plants were used for the control. A significant increase in plant mass of grafted seedlings was recorded compared to nongrafted ones. During the production cycle, the presence of larvae of the Delia platura insect was recorded with damage to 40.6% of the plants in the control plots, while the cause of fusarium wilt affected the suffering of 4.2% of the control plants. Grafting has a positive effect on the average weight of the first fruit and the physical characteristics of the fruit. The marketing yield was the lowest in plants grafted on the Strong tosa F1 rootstock (80.0%), while the L. siceraria and Emphasis F1 rootstocks influenced an increase in the weight of the first fruit (8.308-9.525kg) as well as the marketing yield (89.6- 91.0%) with the smallest share of physiological disorders, and the favorable taste of "fruit flesh"
