Abstract
The yield behavior and the quality of fruits in tomato plants grafted on different rootstocks were evaluated. The work was conducted at “Liliana Dimitrova” Horticultural Research Institute in a protected cultivation house on a typical eutric Red Ferralitic soil, from November to June 2009/2010 (year 1) and 2010/2011 (year 2), respectively. The rootstocks evaluated were ‘Rossol’, ‘Motelle’, ‘Beaufort’ F1, Solanum torvum Sw. and Solanum globiferum Dun. that were grafted by the terminal cleft method on ‘HA 3105’ F1 hybrid, also used as ungrafted control. An experimental randomized block design with three replications and six treatments were used. Planting was carried out at a density of 2 plants.m-2 on a plot of 10 m2. Yield and external and internal fruit quality variables were evaluated. The yield of the ‘HA 3105’/’Rossol’ treatment was significantly higher to the ungrafted control in both years. The grafting technique did not affect fruit quality of grafted tomato plants. The values of firmness, thickness of the pericarp, equatorial and polar axis of the fruit in treatments with ‘Rossol’, ‘Motelle’ and ‘Beaufort’ and the total soluble solids variable on S. torvum and S. globiferum grafts were similar or significantly higher than those of the control.
