HEALING CHAMBER KEY FOR SURVIVAL OF GRAFTED VEGETABLES
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of grafted plants on resistant genotypes is now widely widespread in the world. Grafting not only can increase the disease-resistant ability but also can promote the production quality for vegetable crops. Since both stock and scion are cut for grafting, they need to reconstruct their vascular bundles in the course of acclimatization. Therefore, vegetable grafting must be carried out in monitored and controlled environment. The most commonly used are the greenhouses in which the main microclimatic factors that affect the healing process (temperature, relative humidity and solar radiation) can be adjusted. Both grafting and post-grafting curing operations significantly affect the survival rate of grafted seedlings. An improper curing environment will cause the seedlings languishing, over-growth, or even death. For healthy production of grafted vegetables, the environmental parameters values must be monitored and adjusted very precisely, especially in the healing period. This can be done either manually or automatically, depending on production type of the farm.
