Effects of Grafting on Nutrient Element Content and Yield in Watermelon

Bu çalışma, aşılı fide kullanımının ve farklı anaç-kalem kombinasyonlarının,karpuz bitkisinin yaprak -meyve besin element içeriklerine ve verimineetkilerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Crisby ve Crimstar çeşitlerinin,Ferro ve RS 841 (Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata) ticari hibrit anaçlarınaaşılı fideleri ile aşısız (kontrol) fideleri kullanılmıştır. Aşılı bitkilerin, yapraklarındaK, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn içerikleri; meyvede N içerikleri kontrole (aşısız olanlara)göre önemli düzeyde artmıştır. Anaçların, yaprak Fe, Cu, Zn; meyve N, P, Ca, Cu,Zn içeriklerine önemli etkisi gözlenmiştir. Yaprakların K ve Fe içerikleri ilemeyvelerin Fe, Cu, Zn ve kuru madde içerikleri, çeşitler arasında önemli farklılıklargöstermiştir. Aşılama ve anaç-kalem kombinasyonlarının verim üzerine önemlietkisi olmuştur. Ferro anacına aşılı Crimstar çeşidi ile en yüksek verim eldeedilmiştir. Aşılı bitkilerde meyvenin kuru madde içeriği ile yaprakların Ca ve Mgiçerikleri arasında önemli pozitif korelasyon belirlenmiştir.

Karpuzda Aşılamanın Besin Element İçeriği ve Verim Üzerine Etkisi

This study was conducted to determine the effects of grafting and rootstockscioncombinations on the yield and nutrient content for both the leavesand fruit of watermelons. Two watermelon (Citrillus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsumand Nakai) varieties Crisby and Crimstar were grafted on to Ferro and RS 841,and the commercial hybrids of Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata. Nongraftedplants were used as controls. In the grafted plants the content of K, Mg,Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn in the leaves and N in fruits significantly increased whencompared to the control. A significant effect was observed in the rootstocks forthe Fe, Cu, Zn content in the leaves and the N, P, Ca, Cu and Zn content in thefruit. The K and Fe content in the leaf and the Fe, Cu, Zn and dry matter contentin the fruit were also found to be significant between the varieties. Grafting androotstock-scion combinations affect fruit yield. The Crimstar/Ferro combinationhad the highest yield. Also, in the grafted plants, the dry matter content of thefruits had a significant positive correlation with the Ca and Mg content of theleaves.
