Abstract

Grafting of cucumber on other species of the family has a positive effect on the growth and development of grafted plants, increasing the productivity and stability of grafted samples. In these studies, the effect of a new rootstock material, the fig-leaved pumpkin, a sample from Korea by Seminis, on grafted cucumber varieties Adritto and Asylym was studied in greenhouse conditions. The results showed an increase in productivity in grafted cucumber varieties compared to their rootstock samples. Thus, the Adritto variety showed 15.9 kg/m2, its rootstock sample showed 12.9 kg/m2, an increase of 22.9%, while the Asylym variety showed 15.9 kg/m2 and 14.7 kg/m2, respectively, an increase of 15.7%. There was an increase in the number of flowers and fruits in the grafted cucumber varieties, and the increase in productivity was due to the greater number of fruits: the grafted Adritto variety had a total of 512 fruits, while the rootstock variety had 417 fruits. The grafted Asylum variety had 544 fruits, while the rootstock variety had 419 fruits. Due to the fact that the fig-leaved pumpkin is not inferior to other rootstock samples in terms of all key indicators and shows good results, it can be used as a rootstock for various greenhouse cucumber varieties.
