Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock increased fresh and dry yield and harvest index of tomato.
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock increased fruit/clusters in tomato.
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock did not change mean fruit weight or shape index relative to ungrafted Corbarino.
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock did not change total and soluble solid content relative to ungrafted Corbarino.
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock did not change simple sugars, organic acids or flavonoids relative to ungrafted Corbarino.
- Intervention effect Dinafort rootstock did not change ascorbic acid or trans-lycopene content relative to ungrafted Corbarino.
- Intervention effect Interpro rootstock showed promising overall yield and quality traits in tomato.
- Intervention effect Interpro rootstock reduced trans-lycopene content in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Silex rootstock showed the highest harvest index in tomato, as a result of decreased vigour.
- Intervention effect Fruit quality induced by Silex rootstock was satisfactory in tomato.
- Intervention effect Silex rootstock gave high levels of simple sugars and flavonoids in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect Silex rootstock gave high levels of ascorbic acid and trans-lycopene in tomato fruit.
- Recommendation Graft success, especially for Dinafort and Silex, needs to be improved by investigating better methods for seedling production, grafting and acclimatization.
